As a reminder, while OR2026 will be online, OR2027 will be back in person and we're seeking a host to bring that conference to life.
OR host selection is a 2-phase process that begins with collecting brief "expressions of interest" (EOIs) from institutions interested in hosting the conference. EOIs are reviewed by the Steering Committee, and several candidate hosts are invited to submit full proposals.
In-person OR conference locations rotate between Europe, North America, and other regions of the world. For OR2027, we are particularly interested in hosting the conference in a location outside of Europe and North America. While preference will be given to EOIs from potential hosts in these other regions, we welcome and will consider all EOIs.
