Welcome to the Sixth Bellingham Symposium on Modeling and Data Analytics (BSOMADA 2026)—an annual forum for academics, researchers, professionals, and students dedicated to advancing the frontiers of modeling, data science, and analytics.
This year’s symposium will be held in a hybrid format, giving participants the flexibility to join either in person or online. We are excited to continue our tradition of inspiring insightful discussions, showcasing cutting-edge research, and building a vibrant community in operations research, data analytics, and decision sciences.
Join us from August 17–19, 2026, for a dynamic three-day program featuring keynote speakers, invited talks, and student presentations. Early registration is highly recommended. Participants planning to attend in person are strongly encouraged to complete registration online in advance, as on-site registration will be less convenient and subject to higher fees.
