What keeps you up at night? What are the most pressing needs for your program? Your colleagues at universities around the world probably have the same concerns and face similar challenges. The INFORMS Meeting of Analytics Program Directors (MAPD) has become the event for connecting and collaborating with colleagues in the field. Join us for the 6th Annual Meeting of Analytics Program Directors on April 2, 2022 where Analytics Program Directors from around the globe will engage with one another to tackle the issues that impact their programs.<\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                    <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col4-1 tb_bjxr528 last\">\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                        <div  data-css_id=\"7vhq203\" data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_row themify_builder_row fullwidth_row_container tb_7vhq203 tf_w\">\n                        <div class=\"row_inner col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tf_box tf_rel\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col-full tb_jwfl203 first\">\n                    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_ff3v204   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <h3>What to Expect From the Meeting<\/h3>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_subrow themify_builder_sub_row tf_w col_align_top tb_col_count_2 tb_51tn204\">\n                <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column sub_column col4-3 tb_tvoq205 first\">\n                    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_lqpa206   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <p>The MAPD is a one of kind meeting where program directors have a unique opportunity to meet and discuss relevant trends, challenges, pain points, best (and worst) ways to run an analytics program. The meeting includes programs directors of undergraduate, masters and doctoral programs. This year, we will be discussing how analytics programs have evolved since the first programs launched in 2007. We will discuss what has changed, what needs to change, and how we should be thinking about change. We will be addressing a wide range of questions that we all face &#8211; what skills do our students need to be successful after graduation? How should we be thinking about ethics and fairness in machine learning? What is the best way to engage in an interdisciplinary environment? What does a dissertation or thesis in analytics\/data science look like? How do we navigate issues related to intellectual property and confidentiality when collaborating with the private sector?<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 120%;\">If you only attend one conference in 2022, this will be the one you should attend! The meeting will be <strong>laser focused<\/strong> on the issues that are relevant to you and your program. And for the 6th consecutive year, there is NO COST to attend!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>While the MAPD will take place prior to the <a href=\"\/wordpress\/analytics2022\/\">2022 INFORMS Business Analytics Conference<\/a>, attendees will not be required to attend the Analytics Conference. However, with leading analytics professionals and industry experts coming together to share, learn, and network, the 2022 Analytics Conference is an attractive option for anyone engaged in the business analytics arena.<\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module buttons -->\n<div  class=\"module module-buttons tb_yi6e330 buttons-horizontal solid \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div class=\"module-buttons-item tf_in_flx\">\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/share.hsforms.com\/1bclCqVGUSNeZ5pRF5OMffA21xem\" class=\"ui builder_button tf_in_flx tb_default_color\" >\n                                                Register for the MAPD Event                                        <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"module-buttons-item tf_in_flx\">\n                        <a href=\"\/wordpress\/analytics2022\/files\/2022\/01\/MAPD_Agenda.pdf\" class=\"ui builder_button tf_in_flx tb_default_color\" >\n                                                Download the MAPD Agenda                                        <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<!-- \/module buttons -->\n        <\/div>\n                    <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column sub_column col4-1 tb_yn8f206 last\">\n                    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_aqzl206  repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <h5>Meeting Details<\/h5>\n<p><strong>Date<\/strong>: Saturday, April 2, 2022<br><strong>Time<\/strong>: 9am-5pm<br><strong>Format<\/strong>: In-person<br><strong>Cost<\/strong>: Free<br><strong>Who<\/strong>: Program Directors, faculty and administrators of analytics and OR programs at the bachelor\u2019s, master\u2019s, or doctoral level.<\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                        <div  data-css_id=\"1rre462\" data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_row themify_builder_row fullwidth_row_container tb_1rre462 tf_w\">\n                        <div class=\"row_inner col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tf_box tf_rel\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col-full tb_1tzw463 first\">\n                    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_vusn463   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <h3>Should You Attend?

What keeps you up at night? What are the most pressing needs for your program? Your colleagues at universities around the world probably have the same concerns and face similar challenges. The INFORMS Meeting of Analytics Program Directors (MAPD) has become the event for connecting and collaborating with colleagues in the field. Join us for the 6th Annual Meeting of Analytics Program Directors on April 2, 2022 where Analytics Program Directors from around the globe will engage with one another to tackle the issues that impact their programs.<\/p>\n<h3>What to Expect From the Meeting<\/h3>\n<p>The MAPD is a one of kind meeting where program directors have a unique opportunity to meet and discuss relevant trends, challenges, pain points, best (and worst) ways to run an analytics program. The meeting includes programs directors of undergraduate, masters and doctoral programs. This year, we will be discussing how analytics programs have evolved since the first programs launched in 2007. We will discuss what has changed, what needs to change, and how we should be thinking about change. We will be addressing a wide range of questions that we all face - what skills do our students need to be successful after graduation? How should we be thinking about ethics and fairness in machine learning? What is the best way to engage in an interdisciplinary environment? What does a dissertation or thesis in analytics\/data science look like? How do we navigate issues related to intellectual property and confidentiality when collaborating with the private sector?<\/p> <p>If you only attend one conference in 2022, this will be the one you should attend! The meeting will be <strong>laser focused<\/strong> on the issues that are relevant to you and your program. And for the 6th consecutive year, there is NO COST to attend!<\/p> <p>While the MAPD will take place prior to the <a href=\"\/wordpress\/analytics2022\/\">2022 INFORMS Business Analytics Conference<\/a>, attendees will not be required to attend the Analytics Conference. However, with leading analytics professionals and industry experts coming together to share, learn, and network, the 2022 Analytics Conference is an attractive option for anyone engaged in the business analytics arena.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/share.hsforms.com\/1bclCqVGUSNeZ5pRF5OMffA21xem\" > Register for the MAPD Event <\/a> <a href=\"\/wordpress\/analytics2022\/files\/2022\/01\/MAPD_Agenda.pdf\" > Download the MAPD Agenda <\/a>\n<h5>Meeting Details<\/h5> <p><strong>Date<\/strong>: Saturday, April 2, 2022<br><strong>Time<\/strong>: 9am-5pm<br><strong>Format<\/strong>: In-person<br><strong>Cost<\/strong>: Free<br><strong>Who<\/strong>: Program Directors, faculty and administrators of analytics and OR programs at the bachelor\u2019s, master\u2019s, or doctoral level.<\/p>\n<h3>Should You Attend?
