The 2012 INFORMS International Conference is scheduled for June 24-27, 2012 in Beijing, China. On behalf of the Organizing and Program Committees, I invite you to attend this international meeting. The conference will be hosted by Tsinghua University and will take place at the National Convention Center in the Beijing Olympic Park. A wide range of accommodation is available around the Park, from budget accommodation up to seven-star hotels.
The theme of the conference will be OR/MS for a Sustainable World. The role of OR/MS in the delivery of social, environmental and economic benefits is increasing in importance but also presents unique challenges and opportunities. The 2012 INFORMS International Conference will be a showcase of relevant research that addresses these challenges and opportunities in the OR/MS context. It will also provide an opportunity for networking for all participants.
We look forward to the pleasure of greeting you at what promises to be an exciting and productive meeting.
See you in Beijing! See you in 2012!
