SDWC 2005

System Dynamics Winter Conference

Sponsored by the

University of Texas McCombs School of Business and the

Texas A&M University Mays Business School

January 7-8, 2005

Location: University of Texas, Austin, Texas

Purpose

The upcoming 2005 System Dynamics Winter Conference will be held on Friday-Saturday, January 7-8, 2005  in Austin, sponsored by the University of Texas McCombs (in Austin) and the Texas A&M Mays (in College Station) Business Schools, 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.  The call will be forthcoming shortly.  

As a final note, for those of you who are having difficulty deciding whether you want to come to the Conference, Austin 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.)
