Packing my bags, putting together a schedule
I’m off to Austin tomorrow, and looking forward to this conference even than most. Partly, this is due to Austin, a city I have never been to before. I particularly like the “Keep INFORMS Weird” page: this looks like it is going to be a fun place to be!
But I also like a lot of the things on the program. I was asked to put together some sessions on professional issues (which meant calling up a few people and saying “Wouldn’t a session on X be cool?”: the session chairs did all the hard work). You can check out the full list of sessions at the cluster list. The first session is particularly interesting: Social Networking and Operations Research organized by Laura McLay (of Punk Rock Operations Research Fame). 8AM on Sunday: looks like I will have to keep my weird under control on Saturday night in order to be awake for this session.
See you in Austin!
