Events

Marion Technical Writer December 3, 2025

Hexaly is delighted to be the gold sponsor of the AIROYoung Workshop 2026 in Padova, Italy. The event will take place at the University of Padova from February 9 to 13, 2026. The AIROYoung Workshop 2026 program can be accessed here.

Come by the Hexaly booth at AIROYoung Workshop 2026 in Padova to meet  Julien Darlay, Ph.D., co-founder & head of science at Hexaly, and discover the new release Hexaly 14.0 and its dramatic performance improvements for solving Routing, Scheduling, Packing, and many other problems in Supply Chain and Workforce Optimization. This is also the opportunity to explore and discuss our many job offers. Below is the abstract of Julien’s talk at the 2026 AIROYoung Workshop in Padova:

Hexaly, Hybrid Optimization Solver, Julien Darlay, Co-Founder & Head of Science, Hexaly – February 12, 2026, 14:00 – 14:30

Hexaly is an innovative hybrid optimization solver based on a nonlinear, set-based modeling formalism. This formalism unifies and extends modeling paradigms from mixed-integer linear programming, nonlinear programming, constraint programming, and black-box optimization. Internally, Hexaly integrates a broad range of exact and heuristic optimization techniques, including branch-and-bound, column and cut generation, constraint propagation, and local search, among others. From a computational standpoint, Hexaly demonstrates competitive performance with state-of-the-art solvers such as Gurobi, CPLEX, and OR-Tools, delivering efficient and scalable solutions to routing, scheduling, packing, clustering, and location problems. This presentation introduces the so-called set-based modeling formalism and demonstrates its scalability for solving large-scale problems. It further examines how the solver exploits this formalism to automatically orchestrate advanced exact and heuristic solution methods drawn from the current state of the art.

Hexaly Social Event – Wednesday, February 11, 2026 (17:00–19:30).

Hexaly is also pleased to sponsor a social and cultural event on Wednesday, February 11, from 17:00 to 19:30. Participants will take part in a guided tour of Palazzo Bo, the historic heart of the University of Padua, offering a unique opportunity to discover its rich academic heritage while networking in an informal and friendly atmosphere.

We look forward to connecting with the Italian Operations Research community at the AIROYoung Workshop 2026 in Padova, Italy.
