Abstract Submission

Submission is open. This is a fully in-person meeting. All speakers must be present in Phoenix.

The theme for the 2023 INFORMS Annual Meeting will help find new ways to tackle one of the National Science Foundation’s “10 Big Problems,” how to harness the data revolution … all with the power of OR/MS! We encourage all prospective speakers to keep this theme in mind as they explore the different opportunities to present at this year’s Annual Meeting!

Abstract submissions are now closed. 
You may continue to edit your abstract submission by logging in here until August 23. 

All speakers are required to register and make payment by August 31, 2023. Unregistered speakers will be notified and their presentation may be removed from the program.
