The INFORMS Service Science Section will sponsor a box lunch PhD Consortium and panel discussion at the San Francisco 2014 annual meeting for PhD students who are pursuing research in Service Science. The consortium will take place on November 10th, 2014 from 12:30-1:30 p.m. The consortium is a venue for:

• networking among PhD students, industry representatives, and faculty

The program of the consortium will consist of a panel discussion of representatives from the Service Science Section, Service Science journal, top service industry groups (SSRI, ISSIP), and industry supporters of the Section (IBM Research service innovation staff). The panel will discuss and answer questions based on the interests of PhD students in attendance.
