From April 6-8 in Indianapolis, Indiana, more than 700 analytics professionals, industry leaders, and innovators will gather for three days of learning and networking at the 2025 INFORMS Analytics+ Conference. For over 20 years, this event has united the best minds in analytics and data science to tackle pressing business challenges and discover new applied mathematical solutions driving innovation across industries. 

The Analytics+ theme reflects the dynamic, evolving nature of the field, offering a flexible platform to explore a wide range of topics. The “+” symbol represents both the potential for growth and the breadth of interdisciplinary opportunities, allowing the conference to adapt to the changing landscape of analytics. Whether refining traditional areas like Analytics+ Supply Chain or exploring new frontiers such as Analytics+ AI/ML, Analytics+ You, and beyond, this theme underscores our commitment to continuously expanding the scope and impact of analytics.

What to Expect at Analytics+

Designed for analytics professionals and data scientists who want to empower organizations to make data-driven decisions, attendees will have access to more than 150 presentations – including daily keynote sessions presented by industry experts – and panels across more than a dozen tracks. 

Unlike other conferences that focus on specific industries or software, INFORMS Analytics+ is the perfect place to build connections with peers, fellow industry leaders, and potential collaborators. In addition, attendees are invited to celebrate the tremendous economic and social impact of analytics through global competitions such as the world-renowned Franz Edelman Award, Daniel H. Wagner Prize, UPS George D. Smith Prize, Early Career Practitioner Award, and Innovative Applications in Analytics Award.

  • Analytics for a Better World

    This keynote will showcase the transformative potential of analytics in enabling non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to make a greater impact on the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Analytics for a Better World Institute (https://analyticsbetterworld.org/) harnesses and advances cutting-edge analytics techniques to unlock this potential. Through real-world applications, this keynote will illustrate how data-driven solutions are revolutionizing humanitarian and environmental efforts, including:

    1. The optimization of the food supply chain for the World Food Programme (WFP). By leveraging advanced optimization models, WFP is now able to deliver critical food aid to millions more people.
    2. An innovative optimization model for The Ocean Cleanup that strategically steers their vessels to accelerate the removal of plastic from the world’s oceans, contributing to the fight against marine pollution.
    3. Innovative projects to optimize geospatial accessibility to healthcare services, such as optimizing primary healthcare facility locations in Timor-Leste, determining stroke center placements in Vietnam, planning COVID-19 test centers in Nepal, and identifying ideal water well sites in Sudan. These efforts are driven by collaborations with leading organizations such as the World Bank, World Health Organization, Amref, and the American Red Cross.

    In addition to presenting these impactful projects, this keynote will touch on the novel research challenges they have sparked, some of which remain open and ripe for exploration. Critical enablers for analytics to achieve meaningful, scalable impact within the NGO sector will be discussed, setting the stage for further innovation and collaboration.
