The Supply Chain and Operations Management Area of the Daniels School of Business at Purdue University is pleased to announce the incoming 2024 Purdue Operations Conference to be held on in the West Lafayette campus of Purdue University. We would like to invite doctoral students in Operations Management and Operations Research to join us in this conference.
This conference is motivated by two major trends observed in today's business world. One is the rapid evolution of technologies and how data plays an increasing role in daily operations among a wide and varied range of organizations. The other is the long-term impact of the pandemic in changing many business processes and practices. Both induce noteworthy changes in the practice of operations management, inspiring researchers to rethink our modeling and analysis. Our goal is to bring the leading and young scholars, including senior students, together to share their latest work, learn from one another, and inspire new ideas and research collaborations. Leveraging the diverse faculty expertise in the Supply Chain & Operations Management (SC&OM) area and the generous support from the Daniels School of Business, we hope to build an academic platform to foster open discussions among faculty and Ph.D. students who would work jointly to shape the future of operations management through their impactful research.
We will arrange multiple keynote lectures, parallel sessions (with dedicated student sessions to maximize the attention to student presentations), and panel discussions. The topics can be theoretical or methodological research, empirical studies, and case studies. Student attendees will have opportunities to closely interact with the invited faculty members and fellow PhD students who share similar research interests and career plans.
Date: August 23-25, 2024

All doctoral students with strong research interests in Operations Management and Operations Research are invited to apply, especially those in the formative stages of their research agenda. Students are welcome to present their representative research work in student sessions. If you are interested in giving a presentation, please provide the title and abstract as well as your bio information.
There is no fee to register for the conference. We will provide up to three nights' lodging (August 22-25) and all meals, including breakfast, lunch and dinner during the meeting. Attendees are responsible for their own transportation expenses and arrangements. Though we aim to accommodate as many students as possible, to ensure the diversity, we will select one or two students from each institute. Due to the budget and capacity limits, we may require students of the same gender to share rooms (up to two for each double room). To ensure the quality of interactions, we require interested students to submit an application using the attached registration form. Space is limited and acceptance will be based on the strength of submitted support materials.
Interested students should complete the registration form and submit it along with a cover letter including a description of research interests, curriculum vitae, transcript of doctoral studies to date, and letter of nomination from a faculty member. In your registration, please indicate any food restrictions and accommodation preferences. Applicants will be acknowledged via email.
Registration materials should be submitted by March 31st, 2024
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the program and event coordinator, Zhan Pang.
