The 94th MORS Symposium 2026

For 60 years the annual MORS Symposium has been the national security operations research community’s premier forum to exchange insight, examine emerging research, and address the most complex analytic challenges facing our nation. Each year, the Symposium brings together roughly 1,000 operations research and analytic professionals representing military, government, industry, and academia to share best practices, sharpen analytic approaches, and strengthen professional relationships in a collaborative environment. At its core, this work is focused on supporting the warfighter with high-quality, decision-ready analysis. The Symposium begins with learning-focused Monday Tutorials and CEU Courses, followed by multiple days of deep, content-rich Working Group sessions and panels. Throughout the week, participants present in-progress work, share completed studies, discuss future analytic priorities, and explore new techniques and methods. The MORS Symposium continues to be the best venue to present, discover, and advance the latest developments in operations research and analysis while building the connections that drive national security impact year-round.
