The 2022 INFORMS Optimization Society Conference took place in downtown Greenville, South Carolina from March 13-15, 2022. The theme of the conference was Bridging Data and Decision Making.

“It was great to be at an in-person conference after more than two years,” said U-M IOE Assistant Professor, Albert S. Berahas. “The organizers did a superb job at putting together a high-quality technical program, and all COVID-19 protocols were followed throughout the conference.”

The University of Michigan Industrial and Operations Engineering (U-M IOE) department had a strong presence at this year’s conference, with over 10 presentations from U-M IOE faculty and students.

“It was fantastic to see such a strong IOE presence at the conference,” said Berahas. “Many Ph.D. students presented their research, some for the first time at an in-person conference, and also organized sessions.”
