Dear Participants, Colleagues and Friends, WELCOME to the 2016 International Symposium on Business and Industrial Statistics. We are delighted to celebrate the continued success of our society, and its work to draw together the international community of statisticians, both academics and industry professionals, who share our goal of making statistics the foundation for decision making in business and related applications. Barcelona is a great city, and the host institution has been gracious and generous. We hope you will have a wonderful time and enjoy a productive conference.
