2019 INFORMS Case Competition
The finalists for the 2019 INFORMS Case Competition will present their cases for judging on Sunday, October 20, from 8:00 AM – 9:30 AM in the Virginia room of the Sheraton Grand Seattle Hotel (1400 6th Avenue).
- From 8:00 AM – 8:30 AM, members of the team of Marie-Ève Rancourt, Émilie Dufour, Selene Silvestri, and Yossiri Adulyasak will present their case, The Kampala Alternative: Optimizing the Humanitarian Supply Chain in East Africa.
- From 8:30 AM – 9:00 AM, members of the team of Saurabh Bansal, Philip C. Jones, and Timothy J. Lowe will present their case, Suncrest AgriBusiness: Exploiting the Flexibility of Backup Capacity.
- From 9:00 AM – 9:30 AM, members of the team of Maxime C. Cohen, Kevin Jiao, Foster Provost, and Daniel Guetta will present their case, Data-Driven Investment Strategies for Peer-to-Peer Lending.
This session and the presentations it features are always lively and engaging, and I am sure this year will be no different. Questions from the audience are encouraged, and this session is a great opportunity to engage with colleagues who use or are interested in using cases in their classrooms.
Each finalist will be recognized and the winner of the 2019 INFORMS Case Competition will be announced at the INFORMS Awards Ceremony & Dessert Reception (October 20 from 8:30 p.m. – 9:45 p.m. PDT in 6E, Level 6 of the Seattle Convention Center). I hope to see many of you at the INFORMS Case Competition session this morning.
