Give Back while in Seattle

INFORMS Pro Bono Analytics has partnered with FareStart, an organization providing people who are struggling with the skills they need to get a job in the field of food services and culinary arts. Together, they\’ve coordinated a volunteering initiative for INFORMS Annual Meeting Attendees to build hygiene kits and put together no-sew blankets for homeless students. Your support will allow us to purchase our supplies and fund other needed necessities that will be distributed on the streets of Seattle to those who need them most.

Welcome to the 2019 INFORMS Annual Meeting in Seattle

Seattle, also known as The Emerald City, is nestled among snow-capped mountains and evergreen trees near the Pacific Coast. This largest city in the Pacific Northwest region of the USA is home to major universities, corporations, hospitals, and philanthropic organizations. Seattle has seen rapid growth over the recent decades and become a thriving technological hub. The conference will be held in a bustling area near many restaurants, bars, and shops, not far from iconic landmarks such as the Space Needle and the Pike Place Market. Join thousands of students, professionals, and academicians to explore ideas at the forefront of theory and practice of OR/MS, data science, analytics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, within the context of applications such as education, energy, healthcare, humanitarian logistics, manufacturing, revenue management, supply chain management, sustainability, and transportation.
