The 2nd Annual Philadelphia Operations and Technology Day will take place on Friday, September 27 at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA. The event will take place from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with breakfast served at 8:30 AM and lunch at noon.

This is a one-day, no-charge conference where researchers from the greater Philadelphia area convene to exchange ideas, discuss research topics, and share their work on operations management, business analytics, information systems, and related areas.

Considering arriving the evening before?

Some of you may be looking to arrive in the area the evening before. If so, a recommended hotel for that night (Thursday, September 26) would be Hotel Bethlehem (https://www.hotelbethlehem.com). Lehigh has a discounted rate, which is available for those associated with Lehigh events. When calling, please ask for the "Lehigh Friends and Family Rate." There is limited space due to a community event that coming weekend, so if you are interested, I suggest making a reservation soon.
