[Opt-Net] Practitioner events at EURO27

[Phil Jones]

Dear opt-net friends,

The UK OR practitioner community and the Making An Impact committee cordially invite you to join in with the practitioner oriented activities at this year’s EURO conference and spread the word to other practitioners in your personal networks.

Making An Impact activities will run throughout the conference.  Activities planned include:
   Workshops, seminars and tutorials: 

  ·         tasters and master classes to help expand your technical repertoire and competence, in areas such as data visualisation, analytics, optimisation; 

  ·         workshops and discussions on skills and issues such as career development, better communications, managing your digital footprint, marketing your team, quality assuring your models; 

  ·         vendor-led sessions (also known as 'The Vendor Stream') on specific software. 



  Academic-practitioner bazaars: posters and 60-second presentations highlighting the latest developments across the academic-practitioner interface.



  Case studies in O.R. and analytics: presentations of case studies, providing learning and inspiration for your own practice. In addition, streams such as Health, Defence and Security, Civil Government, Strategy, Finance and many more will include practical case studies within particular practice areas or methodologies. 



  Speed networking: a fun and focused session to help you make new contacts across the O.R. spectrum. 



  Clinics: one-to-one mentoring sessions with experienced practitioners. 

The Making An Impact web page is here: http://www.euro2015.org/making-an-impact---euro2015-for-practitioners . 

The Practice of OR area is running streams on Case studies in OR/ Analytics, OR in Civil Government, Defence and Security Applications.  Of course, there are many other streams which will be of interest.  The full list of streams are here: http://www.euro-online.org/conf/euro27/streams

The closing date for submitting abstracts is 16th March.  We are therefore working hard to generate OR practitioner interest early, so that they may present at the conference.  Registration on the Euro Online system is required to submit an abstract.  The registration page is here: http://www.euro-online.org/web/accounts/register/

Conference registration can be done from the EURO 27 front page: http://www.euro2015.org/

Kind regards,

Phil Jones [Practice in OR Area Organiser]
