Third Washington Operations Workshop (WOW 3): Agentic and Autonomous AI

Join friends and colleagues in Washington, DC, for a day of conversation about agentic and autonomous AI in operations.
About this Event

We are delighted to welcome you to the third Washington Operations Workshop (WOW 3)! WOW brings friends and colleagues in operations together in the heart of Washington, DC, for a day of open and enlightening conversation about where our field is heading.

Last year's WOW 2.0 on AI in supply chains drew colleagues from across the DC area and from more than 20 universities around the country, along with friends from Canada, Europe, industry, and policy circles. This year we turn to agentic and autonomous AI. As AI systems begin to plan and carry out work on their own, the operations community has a lot to contribute to how they are designed and governed, and we would love for you to be part of that conversation.

The day features four one-hour panels and an interactive working session. Panels run as open conversations, and there will be plenty of time to catch up with old friends and meet new ones over breakfast, lunch, and the closing reception.

Program

The full program will be added soon. Confirmed panelists and moderators so far are listed under Speakers below, with more to be confirmed.

Registration

There is no registration fee. Seating is limited, so if your plans change, please cancel your registration so that a colleague on the waitlist can take your seat.

We look forward to welcoming you in Washington!

Warmly,

Tinglong Dai and Leann Thayaparan, Conference Co-chairs, Johns Hopkins University
