This unique conference will provide a platform to bridge the gap between academic and industry expertise in business analytics through Academia-Industry Partnership. Conference sessions will combine industry practitioners and academicians in their respective areas of expertise. We invite students (graduate and undergraduate), scholars, academicians, and industry practitioners to present and discuss their work in business analytics.
To participate in the program, please submit one of the following:
