<p style="margin:0in">WSC 2023 will highlight the vital role that simulation plays in designing, planning, and operating resilient systems. In an increasingly interconnected world, it is more critical than ever to ensure that systems quickly recover from and
adapt to major disruptions, and simulation is one of the key technologies that lies at the heart of building resilient systems. The conference will include tracks displaying applications of simulation to improve resiliency in a wide range of domains.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p style="margin:0in">You can find the conference schedule at <a href="https://meetings.informs.org/wordpress/wsc2023/schedule/">
Schedule - Winter Simulation Conference 2023 (informs.org)</a>. <b>December 10, Sunday</b> contains preconference workshops on Simulation 101, Simulation Optimization, and Data Farming. In the afternoon, there are PhD Colloquium, Vendor Workshops, Poster Lightning
Presentations, and Poster Sessions. <b>December 11, Monday</b> starts with Welcome & Keynote Session and
<b>Ann Dunkin</b>, Chief Information Officer at the U.S. Department of Energy, giving a talk on
<b>Modeling for Energy Resilience: How DOE Uses Simulation to Model and Manage Everything from the Power Grid to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve</b>. Exhibits open at 9:30am to demonstrate the latest simulation technologies, and technical sessions start at
10am, including both introductory and advanced tutorials and commercial case studies.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">The
<b>commercial case studies</b> will present a unique opportunity to learn about the latest innovations in the commercial application of simulation to solve pressing problems. Here are just a few examples:<o:p></o:p></p>
