We invite you to Tampa, Florida, to attend the 17th INFORMS Computing Society (ICS) Conference, 100% in-person, to share experiences in the interface of Operations Research and Computing. The main theme of this conference is the Machine Learning and Optimization Nexus.
COVID-19 Preventive Measures
During the conference, we will enforce the following safety measures to protect all participants:
- Masks are mandatory at the conference. We strongly recommend N95, KN95, or other equivalent masks rather than cloth masks. Studies indicate cloth masks do not work well against the Omicron variant.
- We will be following social distancing at the conference.
- We strongly encourage attendees to receive their vaccine booster shots at least 2 weeks before the conference to maximize protection.
- We encourage attendees to bring rapid antigen tests with them and take tests frequently.
- If you become sick, please stay in your room and reach out to the organizing committee for assistance.
COVID-19 testing sites and local health center information is available at the City of Tampa COVID-19 Information website.
