INFORMS NavigatORs

During the 2024 INFORMS Annual Meeting, be on the lookout for our volunteer INFORMS NavigatORs (formerly known as the Squid Squad)!

These friendly faces are available to help answer questions as you navigate the meeting, whether it’s directions to Registration, where the closing plenary is, or what time the coffee breaks are … If you see an attendee wearing a royal blue INFORMS NavigatOR t-shirt or button (featuring the NavigatOR mascot Padma P. Pathfinder), don’t hesitate to stop them in the Hyatt hallways or find them in the Exhibit Area of the Summit Building – they are here to help new and devoted attendees alike.

INFORMS NavigatORs are volunteer ambassadors with a passion for helping to promote our community; connecting groups to foster growth and knowledge-sharing; and building an enthusiastic and strong INFORMS presence, online and in person. 

During the Annual Meeting, they are the face of INFORMS, so get to know their faces to say hi and thank you!
