The Forecaster
Following on from the hugely successful 2007 events, theForecaster delivers the Business Forecasting & Planning congress in Las Vegas!
With over 400 delegates, 30 exclusive case studies and unparalleled networking opportunities in Monaco, London & Boston in 2007, theForecaster launches the biggest and best business forecasting and planning congress in Las Vegas MGM Grand.
Business Forecasting and Planning is a major part of all corporation’s stratagies and most are looking at ways in which they can improve.. Are you? If so, make space in your calendar and prepare to spend September 8 – 10 in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand. The Business Forecasting & Planning Excellence 2008 is the flagship event run by theForecaster, following on most recently from events held in Boston and Monaco in 2007 and Barcelona earlier in the year..
If you’ve attended our meetings and networking events before, you’ll know that when it comes to format and content, we are always directed by industry – and spend many months researching the planning & forecasting landscape, to ensure we zone in on the topics and issues that are highest on your professional agenda right now.
Accurate Forecasting & Planning is very difficult to achieve in any industry. Unless you get in-depth, focused and hard-hitting information on it, you're going to be left behind. The Business Forecasting & Planning Excellence 2008 is your most effective one stop shop – and there are plenty of other reasons to attend as well.
At this important event, you’ll gain the know-how and the tools you need to keep up with – or even overtake – your competitors – delivered and discussed with you by internationally renowned leaders in best practice. No convoluted jargon. Or meaningless classroom theory. That’s a guarantee. Instead, you’ll hear it like it really is from people who DO know: DELL, for instance, will discuss how they developed strategies and approaches for forecasting new sales channel opportunities. Unilever will go into depth discussing Innovation Forecasting, and how you can implement this successfully in your company. 20th Century FOX will discuss the keys to understand the best forecasting technique for your needs.
When you come to examine the Agenda, you’ll see we’re also putting together several pre-event workshop sessions, offering hands on examples and models to develop more accurate forecasting and strategies to boost your bottom line. Highlights at our Workshop Sessions include New Product Forecasting, Revenue Forecasting, Sales & Operations Planning.
If you work with forecasts, or if you're in charge of a forecasting team in your company, this is a must-attend event. Business is beginning to buy in to the importance of accurate forecasting and nowhere does this become a greater reality than at this event.
The conference will equip you with the tools, the knowledge and the benchmarks to ensure you are properly prepared to meet the challenges you face.
