Daily comedy shows transition into evening extravaganzas with top-name entertainment. Dinner theater, magic, comedy, music and full-scale stage productions are all available. Enjoy a round of golf any time of the year within easy reach of the Strip at Rio Secco. Las Vegas is also renowned for its culinary talent. Some of the world's best chefs perform their magic here.

Go in search of the best steak when you explore your private dining options at the acclaimed Range Steakhouse at Harrah's Las Vegas; travel the world with selections that include the Carnival World Buffet at the Rio.

Participants are welcome to
submit a paper proposal to present either a
30-minute paper presentation, or to jointly present a
90-minute colloquium
session. We try to organize parallel sessions into Topical Interest Groups,
reflecting different perspectives or disciplines. The type of papers presented include: research
(qualitative or quantitative), theoretical articles, as well as
papers that deal with application, best practices,
and case studies.
Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the meeting, presenters are able to
receive feedback from researchers from a different academic discipline,
often bringing up ideas or concepts that might otherwise be overlooked in a
discipline specific silo. It is a presenter’s conference and we strongly
encourage people to attend all three days of the conference.
The conference registration fee includes a plated lunch each day of the
conference, as well as an opening night reception, providing attendees an
opportunity to meet and get to know each other.
These conferences are now held annually, in cities in North America. Previous conferences have been held in New Orleans, Orlando, Vancouver, and Nashville.
