Overview
As a signature event of MORS, over 880 influential Operation Analysts from Government, Industry and Academia collected virtually for the MORS 88th Symposium held from 15-19 June 2020. The focus for this Symposium was, "Multi-Discipline Analysis in National Security" and emphasized the Society's goal of leading the national security analysis community in the development of cutting-edge tools, techniques, and best practices. The event included over 500 presentations, special sessions, tutorials, demonstrations, and poster to include special sessions on COVID-19 analysis done in support of the local, regional, state, and national security decision makers.
The virtual medium was the result of the impacts of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic and marked the first time the MORS Symposium was held 100% virtually. The size and scope of the event rivaled in person MORS symposiums. The sustained participation by the nearly 900 attendees through the week, to include the final session, was a testament to the content of the presentations and the flexibility of the medium which support an average of 45 attendees per session with up to 25 simultaneous presentations. Participants included presenters from Europe, North America, and Australia.
