Many voices. Shared insight. Better decisions.
The INFORMS Strategic Listening Series brings together INFORMS members and invited voices from the OR/MS, Analytics and AI community to share perspectives, surface insights, and inform better decisions about the future of the field.
Through live one-on-one Natter discussions and an asynchronous Natalie AI conversation, participants will have the opportunity to share perspectives on key opportunities, challenges, and priorities shaping the future of INFORMS, the OR/MS community, and the field more broadly. Contributions will help identify emerging themes, inform future programming and strategic priorities, and ensure member and community perspectives are reflected in INFORMS’ ongoing work.
