Dear Colleagues,

It is already time to prepare for the upcoming INFORMS Annual Meeting, October 20-23, 2019, to be held in Seattle. I'm responsible for organizing the Location Analysis cluster. If you are interested in organizing a session within the SOLA cluster, just let me know a tentative title and I can set-up your session in the system right away. There is also a possibility of organizing a joint session with other societies and sections (TSL, Healthcare, PSOR, Service Science, etc.) to attract more audience.

I would like to remind you that they made some changes for the contributed talks last year such as having 6 talks per session or having "flash" sessions with 10 talks! So, you may want to make sure that you and your students present in an invited session. I'll be happy to arrange that.

The deadline to add a session chair in the system is March 11th. Please let me know before then. Best regards, Sibel
