The first Midwest Optimization Meeting was organized at Western Michigan University in 1997 in order to bring the experts, young researchers, and graduate students from the nearby states, working in the field of variational analysis, to meet and discuss the recent developments in the state of art of this rapidly growing subject. Since then, 24 meetings have been held in 13 different places in the Midwest. This meeting has been a one-day or two-day event and has grown slowly in size. The attendance has ranged between 50 and 70; approximately 90% of the participants have been domestic. Typically there are 14 contributed talks, all given by world leaders in the field, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows with recent outstanding results.
