The Biarri Applied Mathematics Conference 2016
Optimisation. For Real.
The world is changing around us. Optimisation– which used to be hidden behind closed doors is now at our fingertips shaping the way in which we live our lives, move our goods, and make our decisions. From healthcare, sports, transport and manufacturing through to the deployment of next generation fibre networks, optimisation is core to working in the 21st century.
This year the BAM Conference will be bringing together innovators, scholars and thinkers to focus on ‘Optimisation. For real.’ and through expert presentations, lightning talks and panel discussions demonstrate how we are using optimisation to keep our world moving.

Why BAM?
The Biarri Applied Mathematics Conference is a free two day event that will give you an insight into how companies apply optimisation and mathematical techniques to solve problems in the real world.
Join us this year to see real optimisation in action and through case studies, lightning talks and panel discussions learn about how it’s used to keep our world moving.
