Training Opportunities for Everyone

Networking, workshops, and sessions for all.

The INFORMS Analytics Framework provides a structured way to get the most you can out of the conference. With three levels, 7 domains, and over 50 tasks per level, you can assess your technical and business knowledge for excelling in analytics to take your knowledge to the next level.

Here are some specific suggestions for what training can look like, for every level.
