Production and Operations Management Society (POMS)

The visa requirement depends on nationality. Visa type for attending a conference is “Tourist / Business person” (mfa.gov.tr/general-information-about-turkish-visas.en.mfa). Passport holders for some countries, including most European countries, are exempt from visa, while visitors from other countries may require one (see mfa.gov.tr/visa-information-for-foreigners.en.mfa). U.S. passport holders, as well as passport holders of many other countries not exempt from tourist visa (see evisa.gov.tr/en/info/ for a list) may apply for an e-visa at www.evisa.gov.tr for tourism and short-term business travel, including conferences. The application is straightforward and can be completed in 5 minutes. Foreigners wishing to enter Turkiye must carry a passport, or a travel document as a substitute for passport, with an expiration date at least 60 days beyond the “duration of stay” of their visa, e-Visa, visa exemption, or residence permit. Depending on your nationality, there may be additional requirements. You will be informed of these requirements after you select your country of travel document and travel dates on www.evisa.gov.tr.

You will be making an oral presentation of your accepted abstract at the conference.

POMS will provide the projector, however, you must bring your own laptop or borrow it from someone. It is recommended that you also bring your presentation on a USB drive/flash drive/thumb drive.

You will have 20 minutes including questions/answers.

There will be no proceedings. Instead, there will be a Program Book (available online and in printed format) which will provide details of all conference related activities.

When you register for the conference, only hit the “Complete Registration” button ONE TIME. If you click this button multiple times, it could create duplicate charges for your registration.

Please send an email to Ms. Seema Singhania at pomsrenewals@gmail.com if this happens.

Please contact your credit card company or try to use a different card.

Our system is designed to accept payment by credit card only.

Please email all details about your abstract (abstract number, title of presentation, and track to which it was submitted) to Dr. Guanyi Lu at glu@business.fsu.edu. We will remove your abstract. Make sure that none of your co-authors will present the paper. If you are already registered, mention your registration number for a refund. Review the "important dates" document for the deadline to apply for a refund.

You can print it online immediately after registration. The registration receipt will also be provided at the time of registration check-in.

Our system checks that for each abstract the presenting author has registered. This is done by matching the emails used during abstract submission and during registration. If the two emails do not match, the abstract is flagged for deletion. If you have multiple abstracts make sure that you use the same emails for all abstracts and for registration.

To resolve this problem, please contact Ms. Seema Singhania at pomsrenewals@gmail.com.
