Keynote Optimization 360 2899, 2878 Optimization is all around us—calculating the quickest route on your mobile phone, ensuring timely package deliveries, and streamlining your airline and hotel bookings. Optimization technology is being used in all those situations because it “creates value” - but what exactly does that mean? What’s the hidden connection between a deeply mathematical puzzle-solving tool, and your bottom-line results? What is the interplay between complexity and value?

How KLM Optimizes Your Flight Experience KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.
You have probably been there: booking that dream vacation or registering for a conference abroad. You mindlessly add a flight, a small hurdle before reaching your destination. As you get comfortable in your seat among hundreds of fellow passengers, you glance out the window and see dozens of planes gliding around the airport. Have you ever stopped to wonder what it takes to make this happen? Behind the scenes, airlines face a logistical puzzle unlike any other. How do they get you and thousands of others to the right place at the right time with the right resources at an acceptable cost? From developing flight schedules years in advance to real-time execution on the day of travel, optimization is key.

Keynote Navigating the Buzzword Jungle 1779 (Quantum, GenAI, GPUs) and Optimization. The jungle of tech buzzwords can be overwhelming; in particular, technologies like GPU computing, generative AI, and quantum computing are getting attention from experts and even the general public. This talk discusses these technologies and their relevance to optimization and related real-world applications. Attendees will leave with a better understanding of these technologies' roles in optimization, helping them make informed decisions about their relevance to the attendees’ ongoing and future projects. Join us to cut through the hype and find the true value in these innovations.

Technical Training Handling Challenging Models Finding an optimal solution can be quite challenging for some models. In this session, we discuss potential reasons for this and how to deal with it. We also show a few techniques that help determine why some model is infeasible. Additionally, we give insights into the geometry of MIP to better understand the difficulty of models. Heuristics are essential to finding reasonable solutions quickly. We discuss heuristics included in the solver and other general concepts.

Technical Training Tackling Non-Linearities with Gurobi + Outlook V12 Gurobi can handle a number of non-linear functions in optimization models. Historically, Gurobi first supported convex quadratic function in the objective and constraints. With Gurobi 9.0, Gurobi introduced a global solver for non-convex quadratic models and automatic piecewise-linear approximations of common arithmetic functions. Gurobi 11.0 comes with support for global optimization of models containing univariate non-linear functions . In this talk, we will review those various features and present our current work for tackling non-linearities better, including an outlook to Gurobi 12.
