TURNING OPTIMISATION INTO IMPACT
The workshop sessions at OPTIMA‑CON 27 provide an opportunity for deeper technical exchange, practical insight, and focused discussion across optimisation theory, methods, and applications.
Sessions bring together researchers, industry partners, and practitioners to share applied case studies, explore emerging challenges, and discuss new directions for optimisation in real‑world settings. Each session allows time for participants to ask questions and be actively involved in the discussion.
Workshop sessions complement the plenary and keynote program, offering space for detailed exploration of specialised topics and collaborative problem solving.
A panel discussion exploring how optimisation techniques can support organisations working toward positive social, community and public value outcomes. The session will consider common challenges faced in social good contexts and examine how optimisation approaches can improve decision making, efficiency and impact. It will also highlight opportunities for collaboration between industry, researchers and mission driven organisations.
An interactive breakfast panel bringing together industry leaders to discuss real world optimisation challenges and opportunities. Panellists will share perspectives on how optimisation is being used in practice to support better decision making, efficiency and impact across industry contexts. The session is designed to encourage open discussion, knowledge sharing and early day networking between industry participants, researchers and practitioners.
A showcase of emerging optimisation ideas, applications and research projects presented in an informal poster format. The session encourages discussion, feedback and connection between industry, researchers and students, supporting collaboration, talent identification and the exchange of practical insights.
An informal networking session bringing together industry professionals, researchers and students to explore career pathways, skills development and opportunities in optimisation and related fields. The session encourages open discussion around career journeys, industry needs and emerging roles, while supporting meaningful connections, talent identification and potential collaborations in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
