Conference Venue

The symposium and opening ceremony will take place at the Wyndham Grand 
Pittsburgh Downtown Hotel located at the confluence of Pittsburgh’s 
famed Three Rivers.

The opening ceremony will feature the presentation of awards by the 
Mathematical Optimization Society and will be followed by the welcome 
reception.

Pittsburgh is defined by its rivers, set on a "Golden Triangle" of land 
where the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers meet to form the Ohio. The 
conference dinner will be on Wednesday July 15th featuring a river 
cruise on the Monongahela, Allegheny and Ohio Rivers, with panoramic 
views of beautiful landscapes and towering skyscrapers of Pittsburgh. 
The scientific talks will be scheduled on Monday-Friday 9:00am-6:00pm.
