The SIAM Conference on Optimization (OP20), originally scheduled to take place May 26-29, 2020 at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hung Hom Campus, Hong Kong, has been rescheduled due to COVID-19. It will now take place July 20-23, 2021 in Spokane, Washington, U.S.

This is the meeting of the SIAM Activity Group on Optimization. The following meetings will be held jointly:

SIAM Annual Meeting (AN21)
SIAM Conference on Applied and Computational Discrete Algorithms (ACDA21)
SIAM Conference on Control and Its Applications (CT21)
SIAM Conference on Discrete Mathematics (DM21)
SIAM Conference on Optimization (OP21)

The SIAM Conference on Optimization will feature the latest research on the theory, algorithms, software, and applications of optimization. A particular emphasis will be put on applications of optimization in AI and data science, quantum computing, health care, finance, aeronautics, control, operations research, and other areas of science and engineering. The conference brings together mathematicians, operations researchers, computer and computational scientists, engineers, software developers and practitioners, thus providing an ideal environment to share new ideas and important problems among specialists and users of optimization in academia, government, and industry.
