This spreadsheet is designed to help the "Integer and Discrete Optimization" community to suggest talks and design sessions. This is an informal list, intended purely to help the process of creating sessions. This does not replace the standard INFORMS website for submitting sessions. (Special thanks to Warren Powell, Guzin Bayraksan, and Ruiwei Jiang for sharing this tool; also thanks to other cluster chairs for widening the use of the tool.)

This document is open to the public.

If you would like to only contribute a talk:

Please enter your information in the 'Talks' sheet.
Session chairs may reach out to you and ask you to speak in their session if they see a good fit. Remaining talks will be grouped into sessions closer to the abstract submission deadline.

NOTE: Entering your session or talk on this spreadsheet does not mean that it has been submitted to the conference - this is purely to help create a list of sessions. At some point the session chairs will receive an official invite email from the INFORMS system to be able to enter their presenters to the system and determine the order of the talks. Then, the presenters will receive an email with instructions to submit their talk info to the system.
