Informs Meeting of Analytics Program Directors (MAPD)

The Meeting of Analytics Program Directors (MAPD) is designed to provide program directors of analytics programs with a forum for discussion, networking, and the sharing of best practices. While master’s level programs are the majority, this meeting is open to program directors representing bachelor’s and doctoral level programs as well. The goal is to provide a platform for the types of exchanges that will raise the bar for all analytics programs and ultimately lead to better outcomes for students and the industries they serve. Additionally, by supporting this emerging cadre of academics who lead analytics programs, INFORMS hopes that MAPD will help foster new ideas and energy going forward.

The INFORMS Meeting of Analytics Program Directors (MAPD) has become the event for connecting and collaborating with colleagues in the field.  Join the IBM Data Science Community for the 4th Annual MAPD on April 25, 2020 where Analytics Program Directors from around the globe will:

• Learn best practices for student recruitment and alumni engagement
• Discuss curricular structures
• Share engagement with industry and practice professionals
• Engage with industry representatives from healthcare, aerospace/defense, transportation, and other industries.
