4th Annual Complexity in Business Conference
Thursday and Friday, November 8 and 9, 2012 • Washington, DC 

The Annual Complexity in Business Conference endeavors to be the premier meeting for the intersection of Complex Systems and Business. The 4th annual conference will be a one and a half day event and will include talks by thought leaders and an audience blend of academics and industry practitioners. We are very excited to announce that this year we will be having a concurrent track during the conference and will be accepting abstract submissions from the public. We are looking forward to a lively set of interactions among a very distinguished group of researchers and business leaders. On Thursday, November 8 at 3:00 p.m. a series of talks at the Ronald Reagan Building will kick off the conference, followed by a cocktail reception and dinner at a D.C. restaurant.

This event is sponsored by the Center for Complexity in Business at the Robert H. Smith School of Business and the University of Maryland.
