The 2024 INFORMS Analytics Conference will take place April 14-16, in Orlando, Florida. Some INFORMS members have concerns with the conference’s location in light of certain recent public policy changes and related political activities within the state. Such sentiments are always heard and appreciated.

Importantly, locations for INFORMS meetings are determined years in advance, making it difficult to anticipate and navigate the ever-changing landscape of state legislation. INFORMS would be subject to significant financial, legal, and logistical implications for relocating a contracted conference or moving it to a virtual environment.

The INFORMS Board of Directors and professional staff consistently strive to be mindful stewards of the business and operational responsibilities of INFORMS as well as the health and safety of all members of our community, no matter where we gather.

Thank you for your commitment to INFORMS and our shared pursuit of better decision-making for a just, prosperous, and sustainable world. Please contact us at informs@informs.org if you have further questions or comments.

Sincerely,

Laura and Julie
