Call for site preliminary bids: 2026 SIAM Conference on Optimization



The board of the SIAM Activity Group on Optimization is calling for
pre-proposals to host and jointly organize with SIAM the 2026 SIAM
Conference on Optimization (SIOPT 2026). This solicitation is open to
optimization research groups in any continent. Given the previous
locations, applications from outside North America are particularly
encouraged.



The SIOPT conference is held every three years and is the flagship event of
our SIAG on Optimization. The conference is usually held in the last weeks
of May. SIOPT 2023 has counted with more than 1000 participants.



SIAM will support the conference, including use of SIAM’s abstract
submission system, provision of the official conference website siam.org,
and production of the conference program. SIAM will either have sole
financial control (including risk) of the conference or be in partnership
with a local institution.



Preliminary bids should be brief and contain information pertaining to

the location, facilities, logistics (accommodation and transportation),

likely local organizers, and factors that impact registration fees such as
the availability of discounted meeting space or potential local sponsors.



Preliminary bids will be examined by the SIAG/OPT and SIAM Officers, which
will then decide the next steps to be taken. A final decision will be made
by the end of 2023. The selected bid will be asked to fill out the proposal
form available under “SIAM Activity Group Conference” on the following
page:
https://www.siam.org/conferences/about-siam-conferences/propose-a-conference



The deadline to apply is August 15, 2023. Please send your preliminary bid
to SIAG/OPT Program Director, Gabriele Eichfelder (
gabriele.eichfelder at tu-ilmenau.de).
