The 2008 Conference was held in Atlanta, Georgia on March 14-16, 2008 and focused on "Theory, Computation and Emerging Applications." The 2010 Conference was held in Gainesville, Florida on February 26-28, 2010 and focused on Energy, Sustainability and Climate Change." The 2012 Conference was held in Coral Gables, Florida on February 24-26, 2012 and focused on "Optimization and Analytics: New Frontiers in Theory and Practice".

The fifth conference is to be hosted by the Rice University's Department of Computational and Applied Mathematics in Houston, Texas on March 6-8, 2014. The theme of the conference is "Theory and Practice: Dealing with Big Data and other Challenges".
