Does anyone plan to go to https://meetings.informs.org/wordpress/wsc2023/ this year? I am debating about going since I live within driving distance (3 hrs).
I have never been but it looks interesting.
I will look into attending.
If you are that close definitely go. I was always tempted to go when it was, I think, always held in Hawaii?. But never did.
I have attended ones in Savannah, Georgia and Huntington Beach, California and a virtual one.
Fun fact: I originally wanted to do my PhD in discrete-event simulation (DES). My team used DES for our senior undergrad project. However, Professor Konrad said that she would not pass me if I did because there wasn’t anything worth a PhD left to do. I am paraphrasing. She said this in a very polite way.
She told me to go talk to the WPI SD professors and students and learn more methods.
I plan to go. Please let me know if you plan to attend too. We can get lunch or dinner!
I’ve been to WinterSim a few times, and really enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend going! Tim Clancy, Nacho Martinez-Moyano, and I submitted a poster abstract this year - I think Tim and/or Nacho might be going.
