The 55th Decision Sciences Institute Annual Conference was a great success! Thanks to Tolga Aydinliyim and the conference leadership team for putting together a wonderful program. I was also very proud to return to DSI as a 20-year member, a platinum sponsor (credits to Lian Qi and RBS Supply Chain Management), and most importantly, the conference chair for 2025 Annual Conference in Orlando, Florida.
With the new conference leadership Luv Sharma (University of South Carolina Darla Moore School of Business), Seokjun Youn (University of Arizona), Kathleen Iacocca (Villanova University), Sarah Sengupta, Ph.D. (St. Cloud State University), Sandun Perera (University of Nevada, Reno), Gang Li (Bentley University), John Visich (Bryant University), and Stephen Ostrom (Arizona State University), we are working diligently to develop the program for the 56th DSI Annual Conference under the theme of “Revolutionizing Decision-Making: Technology and Human Collaboration”. In addition to creating a new research track of “AI/ML in Decision Making”, we will continue grow the pedagogical track of “AI and Technology in the Classroom” and host a mid-career workshop to support professional growth and networking for tenure-track faculty. We will also have keynote speakers to discuss the interaction of AI, ML, and healthcare, etc.
It will be a full-pack program for next year’s conference and we look forward to seeing old and new friends at Orlando World Center Marriott, November 22-24, 2025.
Thank you, David Dobrzykowski for your trust and friendship. I also look forward to working with DSI president Victor Prybutok, forthcoming president Anthony Ross, and executive director Vivian L Landrum in the coming year.
Happy Thanksgiving to all 🦃 🦃 🙏 🙏
