That\u2019s a wrap! DSI 2025 ended this Monday after three dynamic days with more than 1,180 participants.<\/p>\n

It was wonderful to chair the conference and meet old\/new friends in Orlando. The conference highlighted the ongoing changes in technologies and their interaction with humans. The new AI\/ML tracks in both research and teaching have garnered great interests from DSI communities. Two keynote speakers discussed how AI affects pricing and how LLMS challenge traditional decision making. Big shouts to Maxime Cohen<\/a> and Yunyao Li (hiring)<\/a> for delivering such wonderful keynotes to the audience. Various panels and workshops cover a range of topics from Deans to department chairs to journal editors, to middle careers, junior faculty, and doctoral students. Our sessions ran from 8am on Saturday to 4:20pm on Monday.<\/p>\n

I also hosted three gatherings\/parties in the govenor suite – our spirit was high (which led to an early ending of our Sunday gathering\ud83d\ude06), chats with colleagues, alumni, friends were fun.<\/p>\n

It was such a treat to ride a Cayenne back to airport \ud83d\ude04<\/p>\n

Thank you, everyone, for contributing to the conference. Thank you, my conference leadership team (Luv Sharma<\/a>, Seokjun Youn<\/a>, Sandun Perera<\/a>, Gang Li<\/a>, Sarah Sengupta, Ph.D.<\/a>, and Kathleen Iacocca<\/a>, John Visich, and Stephen Ostrom<\/a>), for putting together the wonderful program. Thank you, Anthony Ross<\/a>, Victor Prybutok<\/a>, and David Dobrzykowski<\/a>, Natalie Simpson<\/a> for your support to the conference. Last but not least, thank you Vivian Landrum<\/a>, for working together with me over the past year.<\/p>\n

Looking forward to our next year\u2019s conference in San Francisco. I am sure it will be another great success with Luv Sharma<\/a>\u2019s conference leadership team!<\/p>\n
