The Southern Ontario Behavioural Decision Research (SOBDR) Conference brings together researchers from Ontario universities (and beyond!) with an interest in the study of how people make judgments and decisions.
SOBDR 2023 will be held on Friday, May 5, and hosted in the Desautels Event Hall on the 2nd Floor (elevators/up the pink staircase) at the Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto
Upon entering the building at 105. St. George Street, you may ask the Front Desk staff for directions to the event hall. There will also be signage stands to guide you.
Keynote Speaker: Prof. Sendhil Mullainathan
Sendhil Mullainathan, Prof. of Computation and Behavioral Science at Chicago Booth, University of Chicago
His current research uses machine learning to understand complex problems in human behavior, social policy, and especially medicine, where computational techniques have the potential to uncover biomedical insights from large-scale health data. He currently teaches a course on Artificial Intelligence.

University of Toronto’s Policies on Masks
The University’s mask requirements have been lifted. However, the use of a medical mask in high-density indoor spaces when physical distancing is not possible is strongly encouraged. The University is a mask-friendly environment, and we ask everyone to respect each other’s decisions, comfort levels, and health needs. The University will continue to monitor public health conditions to adjust our response as needed, and we will update you on any changes.
