The upcoming 2009 System Dynamics Winter Conference will be held on Friday-Saturday, January 9-10, 2009 in College Station, Texas, sponsored by the Texas A&M University Mays Business School and Dwight Look College of Engineering and the University of Texas McCombs School of Business, seeks to bring the top academics and practitioners in the field together for an open-ended interchange of the latest cutting-edge developments in the field. During the Conference, we will meet together as a group with all plenary sessions, roughly a half-hour presentation per speaker, and ample time for questions and networking.
To preserve the collegial spirit, total attendance will be limited to no more than fifty. To encourage interaction between students and more experienced people in the field, we do encourage doctoral students to attend, and possibly present their research. Since space is limited, students interested in attending should have their faculty advisors nominate them.
As a final note, for those of you who are having difficulty deciding whether you want to come to the Conference, College Station Texas is about 20-30 degrees warmer on average during January than north of the Mason-Dixon line (i.e. the average high temperature in Austin in January is 65 degrees Fahrenheit and sunny. For comparison, Boston averages 37 degrees in January, Chicago, 30, and Washington, DC, 45.)
