Frances O'Brien and Ruth Davies are delighted to be organising OR51 from September 8th to 10th, 2009. Please reserve these dates in your diary or on-line calendar now. OR51 will have a programme, full of interest, appealing to a wide range of individuals. It is located at the University Warwick, a dynamic university with a large well-known OR group. We anticipate an extensive and interesting scientific programme with contributions from both academics and practitioners. We are planning that the plenaries and some keynotes should address contemporary concerns such as climate change and the financial crisis. The plenaries, streams, coffee and exhibitions will be co-located, with all but two rooms under one roof and all within easy access.

We expect that the social programme will include a drinks reception, the ever-popular bar quiz and external visits. The University is situated on the outskirts of Coventry, close to the Warwickshire countryside and only one hour and ten minutes from London by train. Local sites of interest include Coventry cathedral and the guildhall, Kenilworth castle, the Heritage motor museum, the National motorcycle museum, Warwick castle and Shakespeare's birthplace.

Whilst the OR51 conference fees have not yet been set and will be live for booking purposes at the end of May 2009 we hope to keep the fees similar to 2008 which were: Whole conference registration fees (early booking rate) started at £340 + VAT for ORS members whilst accommodation fees were £60 + VAT per night. ORS student registration cost £120 + VAT.
