attentionExhibitor registration now open.

INFORMS would like to make you aware of some important changes to the exhibitor registration process. We are excited to announce that we will be utilizing an online registration system through the same system that attendees use when registering for the conference. Online exhibitor registration will eliminate a lot of the manual tracking and processing that was done in the past and will allow exhibitors to:

  • Register, pay with a credit card or request invoice online
  • Select booth location at the time of registration
  • Agree to terms and conditions
  • Indicate interest in Sunday Vendor Workshops and Vendor Track Sessions
  • Register booth staff
  • Provide booth description
  • Register for sponsorship opportunities
  • Receive an instant time stamped confirmation e-mail

Pricing will remain the same in 2016. The Exhibit Fee for booth space is $1,250 for an inside 8 x 10 booth and $1,350 for a corner booth. As in the past the booth space fee is for space only and does not include furnishings, electrical, etc.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]REGISTRATION

VENDOR TRACK

In addition to the Sunday Workshops, registered exhibitors have the opportunity to participate in the Vendor Track at WSC.  The Vendor Track provides an opportunity for companies that market modeling and simulation technology and services to present their innovations and successful applications. For each reserved booth, vendors get a 45-minute time slot in the track.

For each slot in the Vendor Track, you have two options: submit a complete paper; or submit just an abstract.  Abstracts and papers appear online and in the final program, but neither appear the archival proceedings (IEEE rules).   Abstracts are lightly reviewed by the track coordinator and papers are reviewed by multiple members of the committee and may entail revisions.

Papers and abstracts should use the Authors’ Kit in order to adhere to the publication format requirements.  For abstracts, please use the paper template and just delete everything after the abstract (i.e., you should still have the running head, title and affiliations, etc.)  The links for submitting papers and abstracts are here.  The deadline for submission for abstracts is July 31, 2016.

For additional information on the Vendor Track, please contact Jeff Smith at jsmith@auburn.edu.

If you have any questions regarding the registration process, please contact Michelle Farace at michelle.farace@informs.org or (443) 757-3556.
