The
Silicon Valley Challenge
At the foundation of business and organizational success in Silicon Valley are
five key elements: Management, Innovation, Technology, Entrepreneurship and
Creativity (MITEC). These were the driving forces put in motion when William
Hewlett and David Packard launched their company with $538 out of Packard’s
garage. Those same elements are what hundreds of other companies in the valley
and around the world have been built on over the past 50 years. Successfully
integrating those elements is the Silicon Valley Challenge.
The INFORMS Annual Meeting in
San Jose will take full advantage of all the resources Silicon Valley offers.
The scientific program will cover the broad landscape of OR/MS research and
application, from Manufacturing to Information, Transportation, Energy and
Communication (MITEC). Executives from leading technology companies will present
ideas and perspectives that challenge your thinking. Plant tours will give you
an inside look at the systems and technology being used by major corporations in
the Valley. And—as at every INFORMS Annual Meeting—the emphasis will be on
networking and exchange with your colleagues from around the country and around
the world.
We
look forward to seeing you in San Jose for an INFORMS Annual Meeting guaranteed
to be exciting, thought-provoking and challenging.
