IBF Holds its 7th Annual Supply Chain Planning and Forecasting Conference
The Institute of Business Forecasting (IBF) is holding its 7th annual Supply Chain Planning and Forecasting Conference at the Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak Resort in Phoenix, Arizona on February 25-27, 2007.

According to PR News Wire, with over 20 educational sessions, 3 pre-conference workshops, a 1-day hands-on statistical forecasting tutorial, and an exhibit hall full of forecasting software vendors and consultants, this forum on supply chain and demand planning is ranked among the best.

"Our Supply Chain Planning and Forecasting Conferences are geared towards practitioners and aim to help improve forecasting performance" said Constance Korol, IBF's Marketing and Events Manager. IBF events draw attendees and presenters from all over the world and across many industries to share real- world experiences with their colleagues. Professionals from Demand Planning, Supply Chain, Sales, Production, and more, comprise the wide range of disciplines that attend IBF events.

Attendees will study tried and true forecasting and supply chain practices, including those that have succeeded at Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Ebay, kraftlinks, Amgen, Gerber, and more. The IBF's Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) workshop will examine concepts enabling beginners to grasp them and put them into action. Of course, IBF's sessions give more advanced practitioners tips for continuous improvement as well.

The IBF has lined up 39 experienced professionals in Phoenix to discuss the importance of investing in supply chain forecasting and demand planning. This year's Keynote Address -- "Creating Company Value through Forecasting and Planning" -- will be presented by Avnet's Greg Frazer (Executive VP) and Therese Bassett (VP of Corporate Strategic Planning and Business Intelligence). Among the lessons learned that attendees will be able to take from the conference, you will hear Cavendish Farms, "Worst Practices in Forecasting," as well as "Forecasting and Calculating Safety Stock" from Heinz and many more.
