The 2010 INFORMS Annual Meeting boasts an enterprising program that spans a host of intellectual and festive
activities. Keynote speakers, tutorials and parallel sessions
will provide a showcase of the richness that is operations
research and the management sciences.
The theme of the 2010 meeting, Energizing the Future, recognizes
one of the most pressing challenges that planners, analysts
and technologists face in securing the quality of life that
we have come to expect. There will be a rich variety of talks,
panels and tutorials that address these and many other challenges
our community is so well placed to tackle. Healthcare delivery,
the environment, sustainability and e-commerce are some of
the critical topics that will be highlighted. The combination
of a great location, an expansive program and top-notch speakers
ensures an invaluable experience.
The meeting will take place at the Austin Convention Center,
a premier 60-room facility with the added bonus of complimentary
wireless Internet, and the Hilton Austin, a first-class hotel
adjacent to the Center. For those whose schedule allows, they
have lined up a number of trips to local manufacturers as well
as several museum and outdoor tours.
