SJDM Annual Meeting 2025
Special Sessions: As last year, we are again accepting proposals for workshops, tutorials, or panel discussions to be held the morning of Monday, November 24. Special session submissions should be emailed to Program Chair Silvia Saccardo (ssaccard@andrew.cmu.edu) and should not be submitted through the online portal. Note: individuals may present both in a regular session and a special session, but content must not overlap. Detailed submission instructions for special sessions are here.
We’re excited to see you in Denver!

Mailing lists and other email:
Mail from sjdm.org is often classified as spam. Please put sjdm.org on your safe sender list if you have one. Just moving mail out of a spam folder may do this. Do not use Microsoft addresses (@hotmail, @outlook, @live, @msn). They block our mail without telling you. For other problems with mail, write jonathanbaron7@gmail.com.
We have two mailing lists. New members are automatically added to both lists but can unsubscribe from either or both.
The sjdm-members list is for communications about society business such as meetings and elections. This is a very low-volumue mailing list. If you are a member of this list and you are not getting mail about Society elections and other business, please check the list archives.
The jdm-society mailing list is much higher volume and is open to all for reading and posting, but moderated. If you do not get mail from this list for a while, check its archives.
In addition, Decision Science News often has the latest conference deadlines, jobs, and announcements.
