Call for Proposals: POMS College of Sustainable Operations Mini-Conference, Minneapolis, April 23rd, 2020

Dear Members of the POMS College of Sustainable Operations,

We are calling for proposals for organizing and leading the 2020 POMS College of Sustainable Operations mini-conference, to be held in Minneapolis MN, U.S.A. on April 23, 2020 (the day before the 2020 POMS Annual Meeting). Past mini-conferences have provided a valuable opportunity for our community to meet together for a day to discuss issues and opportunities in the area of sustainable operations.

The mini-conference can have one particular theme or multiple blocks with different themes, and it can potentially include facility tours or other connections with industry. We encourage the submission of ideas or intents even if they are not in the form of a full proposal.

The faculty member(s) selected to organize and lead the 2020 mini-conference will work with the board to form a mini-conference planning committee. If you would like to submit a proposal or intent for the mini-conference, please contact Owen Wu, POMS CSO VP-Meetings, at owenwu@indiana.edu. The deadline for submission of intents is October 15, 2019, and the deadline for submission of full proposals is November 15, 2019.

Best Regards,
The POMS College of Sustainable Operations Board
(Vishal Agarwal, Gokce Esenduran, Owen Wu, Luyi Gui, Suvrat Dhanorkar, Basak Kalkanci, and Wenbin Wang)
