How the Poster Competition Works<\/h2> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\n

Participation in the poster competition is voluntary. That is, an author may elect to enter the General Poster session and make a poster presentation without entering the competition. For those who wish to compete, the committee and judges will review the posters and let you know before the conference if you are accepted to the competition. If you are not accepted as part of the competition, you will automatically be a part of the General Poster session.\u00a0 The recognition includes a certificate, an award check, and announcements on INFORMS newsletters, OR\/MS Today<\/em>, INFORMS Connect, and on the INFORMS website<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Step 1. Abstract Submission:<\/strong> Only one poster abstract submission will be permitted per presenting author. For the poster submission, the following items are needed by May 23, 2025: contact information for yourself and any co-authors, the title, a 250-word abstract, and a poster in PDF format. You must select an option when entering your information to indicate if you wish to be part of the competition.<\/p>\n

Step 2. Poster Review for Competition and Scheduling (Pre-Conference Round):<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you would like to enter this competition, you are required to <\/span>submit a soft copy of your poster (in pdf format) by June 15, 2025, together with a short presentation video (maximum 5 minutes recording)<\/b>. You can indicate your participation during the submission procedure.<\/span><\/p>\n

Poster video submission. <\/b>By June 15, 2025, you will need to upload a video presentation of your work that is at most five minutes in length.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On site, the Chairs and judges will screen a selected group of posters participating in the competition. Poster authors participating in the competition will be notified whether their work is being considered within this subgroup by July 15th. The chairs will determine the presentation time (Monday or Tuesday) and assign judges accordingly. The schedule will be announced before the conference.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n

During the Annual Meeting<\/h2> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\n

Step 3. On-site Round:<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the assigned day (Monday or Tuesday), poster presenters should bring a hard copy of their poster and hang it in the specified area of the exhibit hall before the scheduled poster session.<\/p>\n

We recommend hanging your poster when exhibits open at 9am on your assigned day to give attendees extra time to review your research. Please remove your poster promptly by 4:30pm.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
