Solution Showcase
Session:
Solution Showcase: Transform Predictions into Actionable, Explainable Decisions using Optimization
Presenters:
Summer Purschke, Technical Account Management and Juan Guzman, Senior Optimization Engineer
Location:
Grand Peninsula G
Time:
12:15 PM
Date:
Tuesday, October 28th
Abstract:
Making decisions in a complex environment is hard, and choosing the right tools can be just as challenging. But it doesn’t have to be – Mathematical optimization lets you move beyond predictions to identify the best decisions possible, given the realities of your system. In this hands-on session, we’ll build a model, interpret results, and explore the explainable nature of mathematical optimization. You’ll also meet Gurobot, a GenAI-powered assistant that makes optimization more accessible and helps you reach better decisions faster.

Workshop
Session:
From Data to Decisions: A Hands-On Introduction to Optimal Decision Making with Gurobi
Presenters:
Summer Purschke, Technical Account Management and Juan Guzman, Senior Optimization Engineer
Location:
TBD
Time:
11:00 AM
Date:
Wednesday, October 29th
Abstract:
Many AI tools uncover patterns, analyze systems, and summarize information—but making the best decision requires optimization. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to use mathematical optimization to go beyond predictions: allocating resources, planning schedules, and solving complex business problems with confidence. We’ll introduce optimization as a well-established AI technique and guide you through building and solving your first model in Python. You’ll leave with a powerful new tool in your AI toolbox to turn data into actionable, high-impact decisions.
