Since its very inception the Society adopted as one of the essential forms of activity the organisation of the cyclical national conferences of the community it represents. The conferences, with the acronym BOS, constitute a forum for presentation of achievements and for discussion of the substantial and organisational issues of the community.

Until now the following BOS conferences took place:

BOS 88 in Książ (together with the Systems Research Institute - SRI PAS),

BOS 91 in Warsaw (together with SRI PAS and the Military Technical Academy - WAT),

BOS 93 in Warsaw (with SRI PAS, National Defence Academy - AON, and WAT),

BOS 95 in Gdynia (with SRI PAS, WAT, and the maritime schools in Gdynia),

BOS 97 in Kutno,

BOS 2000 in Ciechocinek,

BOS 2002 in Warsaw, together with SRI PAS and the Warsaw School of Information Technology (WIT),

Independently of the BOS series the Society organised and co-organised a number of other meetings, both national and international (collaboration). In particular, the international working group MODEST, affiliated with the Society, organised its workshops, and the Society collaborated with the Systems Research Institute in the organisation of the conferences on the socio-economic systemic transformation in modern world.

Selected - international - conferences outside of the BOS series are:

"The Systems Analysis Approach to Environmental and Natural Resources Management in the Baltic Region", Gdańsk, 26-29 September 1988 (with SRI PAS and the Danish Operational Research Society).

"Transition to Advanced Market Economies", Warsaw, 22-25 June 1992 (in the framework of the Association, with IFORS as IFORS SPC-2, SRI PAS, and some other institutions).

"MODEST - Modelling and Analysing the Economies in Transition", September 1995, Mądralin by Warsaw (MODEST together with The Interfaces Institute).

"MODEST - Modelling and Analysing the Economies in Transition II", September 1996, Jabłonna by Warsaw (MODEST with SRI PAS, University of Siena, Italy, and The Interfaces Institute).

EURO Prime 1999, 11-14 September 1999, Warsaw-Rembertów. A conference for the young O&SR researchers, associated with the meeting of the working group MODEST (in collaboration with EURO, AON, and SRI PAS).

National conference on Multiaccess Computer Systems KSW'2000 in Ciechocinek, organised by the Farming Academy in Bydgoszcz in collaboration with other institutions.

Most of these conferences brought publication of books containing selected materials (Publications).
