You've probably heard that INFORMS is going to offer certification in 2013. We've talked about it for years, but now it is finally going to happen. What you may not realize is that it is analytics certification, not O.R. certification. Stop by the booth to learn more about INFORMS certification program and what this means to you. Read the article in OR/MS Today.
All attendees to the Conference who do not already belong to CPMS - the Practice Section of INFORMS - or the Analytics Section will receive a free membership for the rest of 2012 for one or the other. Let us know your choice! CPMS pursues a mission of directly managing some activities, and enthusiastically supporting other activities, that advance the practice of OR/MS in general (i.e., not focused on a particular method or application). Analytics Section is focused on promoting the use of data-driven analytics and fact-based decision making in practice. Take advantage of your free membership and get involved. Both sections have members you'll want to get to know. Stop by the INFORMS booth for more information.
