Staying at INFORMS host hotel is particularly important this year! 

Here are some top reasons for staying at the conference hotel:

• Booking at INFORMS host hotel not only benefits you but it has a significant impact on the organization as a whole. We have negotiated numerous concessions and benefits that are based on ensuring attendees stay at the hotel. If we don’t meet our commitment, INFORMS could be financially responsible for lost revenue to the hotel or have to pay extra costs for room rental, etc.

• Added networking and social time with Analytics+ Conference attendees, sponsors and exhibitors is a key reason for attending an in-person event. By staying at the host hotel, you enhance opportunities to meet with colleagues and share experiences and ideas.
