[DMANET] Save the Date for the 2026 Mixed Integer Programming Workshop (MIP 2026)

Please save the date for the *2026 Mixed Integer Programming Workshop* (MIP
2026), which will be held *May 18-21, 2026*, at the *University of
Connecticut*, Stamford campus.

The twenty-third edition of the MIP workshop will continue many of the core
traditions that have made this workshop a gathering place for the
community, and we invite you to join us and participate in


-

*A single track of invited speakers* showcasing the latest trends in
theoretical, computational, and applied aspects of mixed integer
programming and discrete optimization.
-

*A poster session*, including a best poster competition among selected
student finalists, for which submissions will open later this year.
-

*The 2026 Land-Doig MIP Competition* on GPU-Accelerated Primal
Heuristics for MIP with rules and details to be announced soon!


MIP 2026 is supported by the Mixed Integer Programming Society (MIPS)
<https://www.mixedinteger.org/>, a section of the Mathematical Optimization
Society (MOS) <https://www.mathopt.org/>. Please keep an eye out for more
information by visiting the website at https://www.mixedinteger.org/2026,
and stay tuned for announcements about more ways to participate.

On behalf of the MIP 2026 Organizing Committee, we look forward to seeing
you in Stamford!
