Still hanging on…

Everyone’s doing wrap-ups and I have a few minutes before the last couple of sessions, so here goes (totally unstructured):

  • Things seemed to run phenomenally smoothly, compared to some of my memories.  Good job, INFORMS staff!
  • The BBQ was pretty passable.  Definitely among the better receptions in recent history.  (I know, BBQ is a matter of taste and regional bias so at least some folks will disagree vehemently.  De gustibus non disputandum est.)
  • It’s still not all that easy being green.  But Tuesday afternoon, Bjarni Kristjannson tweeted an announcement of a prototype mobile conference app. It’s kind of buggy and still has a ways to go before I would give up my printed bulletin (even as heavy as it is), but it’s a compelling proof of concept.
  • Big conferences have advantages and disadvantages.  Lots of interesting talks and activities at a large meeting, but people are scattered all across the area.
  • Surely we can do a better job of de-conflicting the schedule.  We’re OR professionals, after all.
  • I spend too much time in the exhibit hall and not enough time at sessions.  Or maybe not.  I got to talk to lots of interesting folks at the COIN-OR booth.  Hopefully, they will find our tools useful (and report back to us).

Safe travels home, y’all.
