Poster session entrants are encouraged to bring their posters by 9 AM and stay for the symposium events (https://mimo.mit.edu/symposium/)!
Why: Students entering in the poster competition have a unique opportunity to network with faculty, industry practitioners, and other students; recruit with companies leading implementation of AI in manufacturing and operations; and win cash prizes.
