INFORMS Strategic Listening Series

Many voices. Shared insight. Better decisions.

The INFORMS Strategic Listening Series brings together INFORMS members and invited voices from the OR/MS and analytics 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 AI in OR/MS, strategic priorities for INFORMS, member value, research challenges, sustainability, and more. Contributions will help identify emerging themes, inform future programming and strategic priorities, and ensure member and community perspectives are reflected in INFORMS’ ongoing work.
