Pre-Conference Workshop
Session: Pushing the Boundaries of Optimization: What’s New in Gurobi 13 and Beyond  
Presenters: Dr. Ed Klotz, Dr. Robert Luce and Dr. Dan Steffy from Gurobi Optimization
Location: TBD
Time: 2:30 – 3:45 & 4:00 – 5:15 PM
Date: Saturday, October 26, 2024
Details:

Join Gurobi’s expert team for a deep dive into the latest advancements in mathematical optimization. This workshop will explore new features in Gurobi 13, including a CPU-based PDHG solver and a local nonlinear solver. Gain insights into emerging technologies like generative AI for optimization, quantum computing,  and our progress on GPU acceleration. The session will conclude with a dynamic panel discussion on the future of optimization and AI. Whether you’re an academic, practitioner, or student, this is your chance to engage directly with Gurobi’s developers and expand your understanding of cutting-edge optimization tools. 

 

Presentation
Session: Recent Advances in the Gurobi Global MINLP Solver
Presenters: Dr. Rodrigo Fuentes, Sr. Technical Account Manager
Location: TBD
Time: 1:15 – 2:30 PM
Date: Sunday, October 26, 2025
Details: MILP solver codes have been around for more than 50 years.  Their spatial branching counterparts that solve MINLPs to optimality are in an earlier stage of development, making bigger performance improvements easier to accomplish. This talk will discuss performance improvements to the Gurobi MINLP solver as well as support for additional nonconvex nonlinear functions such as the hyperbolic tangent function and the signed power function.

 

Panel
Session: WORMS Panel: Life After the PhD: Exploring Careers in Industry and Academia
Presenters: Dr. Cara Touretzky, Sr. Technical Account Manager
Location: Building A, Level 4, A411
Time: 2:45 – 4:00 PM
Date: Sunday, October 26, 2025
Details: This is not a debate – it’s a conversation. In this panel, organized by WORMS, speakers who have worked in both academia and industry will share candid insights about the realities of each path. Drawing from their own career journeys, panelists will highlight the opportunities and challenges they’ve encountered, how their goals evolved over time, and what they wish they had known when making career decisions. While the session is especially geared toward PhD students and recent graduates exploring their options, anyone curious about post-PhD careers – whether considering a switch or simply seeking clarity – will find value in the discussion. Beyond the broad categories of “industry” and “academia,” panelists will also touch on the wide spectrum of roles available within each domain, including research labs, startups, consulting, tenure-track positions, and more. Join us for an open and practical conversation about how to navigate your career after the PhD—and how to shape it on your own terms.

 

Technology Showcase
Session: Building Trust in Optimization
Presenters: Caroline Weinberg, Manager of Optimization Support
Location: TBD
Time: 11:00 – 11:35 AM
Date: Monday, October 27, 2025
Details:

In this session we will explore some of Gurobi’s advanced features through the lens of solution explainability, including solution pools, infeasibility analysis, and multi-scenario analysis. Explainability in practice requires both technical skills and successful communication with stakeholders who don’t know how Gurobi works (and that’s ok!). We show how these tools are not just for modeling – they can help users interpret optimization results and build trust their solutions. 

 

Technology Showcase
Session: Cracking the Vault with Gurobot: Generative AI and the Future of Mathematical Modeling
Presenters: Dr. Cara Touretzky, Sr. Technical Account Manager
Location: TBD
Time: 1:55 – 2:30 PM
Date: Monday, October 27, 2025
Details:

Discover how Gurobi is exploring the use of generative AI to support and streamline the modeling of mathematical optimization problems. Through the lens of a hands-on museum heist challenge, we’ll walk through examples of AI-assisted modeling across varying levels of complexity. We’ll highlight current capabilities, acknowledge present limitations, and offer a glimpse into where we’re headed next as we expand the role of AI in the modeling workflow.

 

Presentation
Session: Recent Developments in the Gurobi Optimizer
Presenters: Dr. Dan Steffy, Sr. Optimization Engineer
Location: TBD
Time: 11:00 AM – 12:15 PM
Date: Tuesday, October 28, 2025
Details:

This talk will discuss new features and performance enhancements in the Gurobi Optimizer for LP, MILP and Global MINLP. We will also present preliminary performance results for the upcoming release.

 

Presentation
Session: Exploring the Interplay between LLMs and Mathematical Optimization Model Building
Presenters: Erik Halseth, Technical Account Manager
Location: TBD
Time: 2:45 – 4:00 PM
Date: Tuesday, October 28, 2025
Details:

Generative AI tools are being positioned to transform the workflows surrounding mathematical optimization. At Gurobi, we want to leverage opportunities in this space while honoring the importance of practicing classical model development techniques. We’ll walk you through some work aimed at equipping users with knowledge and tools for leveraging LLMs to develop and execute optimization models with gurobipy. We will hone in a hypothetical workflow that will serve to highlight aspects on bridging together LLMs and mathematical optimization models. Whether you’re starting your optimization journey or fine-tuning your skills, discover how these innovative AI resources can boost your decisioning systems.
