I often do not hear about many small or specialized conferences, symposiums, and workshops. I would like to put together a list of upcoming meetings of interested to the OR crowd. If you know of such a meeting (conference, etc.), please post information in the comments section. The meeting could be in any discipline, so long as you think it has a sizable OR bent. Also, please indicate if there is any travel funding for students. Don’t be shy–I will approve anonymous comments.
I need your help to make this work. I’ll get things started with a colloquium that a reader told me about.
Please list meetings only for the Spring 2009 (now to May). I’ll start a post about summer 2009 meetings soon. To find these posts, I created a category (“Conferences, Symposiums, and Workshops“) that you can easily access from the link on the left side of this blog.
