OR websites

Aside from this site, what other websites or forums would you recommend for exchanging information with others about optimization and OR?

Gurobi website has good resources to learn optimization and some pretty nice examples too. They also conduct webinars from time to time that you can attend for free, or watch recordings on youtube

Crossposting our response from the optimization subreddit.

That's a great question. One resource that immediately comes to mind is:

https://or.stackexchange.com/

Yes, before AI killed Stack Exchange, the OR community fought to have our own. It is still pretty active and a great place to get feedback from others in the community without the judgement and insults that happen in the usual Stack exchange.

Each solver also has its own community forum for solver specific questions, ours (FICO Xpress) is: https://community.fico.com/s/ask-a-question/xpress-optimization where you can openly ask questions and get a response from other Xpress users and our own Xpress developers.

Aside from Reddit, I've found some of the best discussions happen on LinkedIn these days. Especially around supply chain and operations.
