Conference on Intervention Optimization @ioptimize.bsky.social · 21/04/2026
Because the conference brings everyone into the same session rather than splitting people across tracks, #IOptimize26 is designed for conversation as much as presentation. Poster discussion and time for exchange are built in. bit.ly/ioptimize26
