Annual Conference Program Updates for Fall Underway
April 20, 2020
To All Those Planning to Attend the 2020 IISE Annual Conference:
With the health and welfare of our members
and Conference attendees as our top priority during the COVID-19 pandemic, we
rescheduled the Annual Conference & Expo to Oct. 31 - Nov. 3, 2020, in
New Orleans at the Hyatt Regency New Orleans. Please view the revised
schedule and new registration
dates. The early-bird discount deadline is now set for Sept. 13.
The team of
staff and volunteers who develop the Conference are hard at work planning for
the rescheduled event. Stay tuned to this Annual Conference site for current
program information and updates.
We encourage you to prepare for the Conference and to attend this spectacular event! This will be an opportunity to celebrate the premier industrial and systems engineering event in a special place. IISE and New Orleans need your support. Let’s make this Conference one of the biggest ever!
We understand that no one can say with absolute certainty what the future holds in terms of COVID-19. If it becomes necessary for us to change the schedule or format again, we will be liberal and fair in determining refunds or credits. We will do everything we reasonably can if this adverse environment continues. Your health
and our relationship with you are what is most important to us.
Please rest assured that IISE and its leaders are staying informed of this rapidly changing situation. We are here to support you during these trying times and hope that you will remain an active participant in our organization. Our Mission Statement is that we serve those who solve the critical and complex problems of
the world. This is certainly one of those problems and together, we can get through this while helping others around the globe.
Thank you for your patience during this difficult time.
