The 2025 POMS International Conference in China, hosted by Tianjin University and co-organized by Zhejiang University, the University of Science and Technology of China, and Xi’an Jiaotong University, is scheduled to be held from July 11 to 14, 2025, at the Ocean Flower Island International Conference Center in Danzhou City, Hainan Province.

   Since its inception, the Production and Operations Management Society (POMS) has been committed to advancing global scholarship and practical innovation in the field of production and operations management. In 2018, with authorization from the POMS Board of Directors, four mainland Chinese universities - Tianjin University, Xi’an Jiaotong University, Zhejiang University, and the University of Science and Technology of China - jointly initiated the “POMS International Conference in China.” After the successful conferences hosted by these four universities, the 2025 event will once again be organized by Tianjin University. This conference aims to provide an even broader academic exchange platform for POM scholars nationwide and an excellent opportunity for international scholars to visit China for various forms of collaboration and exchange.

   The Production and Operations Management Society (POMS) is an international professional organization that represents the interests of professionals and scholars in the field of production and operations management (POM). The official website is: http://www.poms.org.
