Announcements

You are invited to submit your abstracts (deadline: January 15, 2020). This includes the abstracts of contributed lectures, posters, and minisymposium presentations. Acceptance of contributed lectures and posters will be announced within two weeks after the deadline.
The deadline for submitting minisymposium proposals is extended to January 5, 2020.
We are closely monitoring the situation in Hong Kong. As of now, the conference is still scheduled to take place as originally planned. However, in case it turns out to be impossible to do so, we will do our best to work out a backup plan. We appreciate your continued efforts to organize minisymposia, still we recommend to delay booking flights until further notice.
Charter bus services will be arranged to pick up participants from the airport on May 25, 2020, and send them to the airport from the conference hotels on May 30, 2020.
Hotel Information is available.

Description

The SIAM Conference on Optimization will feature the latest research on the theory, algorithms, software, and applications of optimization. A particular emphasis will be put on applications of optimization in AI and data science, quantum computing, health care, finance, aeronautics, control, operations research, and other areas of science and engineering. The conference brings together mathematicians, operations researchers, computer and computational scientists, engineers, software developers and practitioners, thus providing an ideal environment to share new ideas and important problems among specialists and users of optimization in academia, government, and industry.
