DAAG 2011

April *19-21, 2011

*WELCOME RECEPTION: Tuesday, April 19th from 5:00pm-7:00pm at Monnalisa Bar inside Hotel Sorella

Theme: Sustainability

Our planet, economics, traditional ways of life are challenged. To achieve longevity, it is necessary to adapt to change. But adaptation can be more than a reactionary survival skill. A clear vision for creating a better future, an understanding of the environment, thoughtful planning and a willingness to work collaboratively lend themselves to sustainable systems that anticipate future needs. Decision scientists work with these elements everyday to create positive, proactive changes. Join us for DAAG 2011 to share your experiences and learn from your colleagues. Together, we will renew our Sustainable Decision Making.
