Welcome to The Business Forecasting and Strategic Innovation Summit!
This
attendee focused summit is a unique blend of analytics, FP&A, forecasting and competitive and market intelligence that is
unmatched in the industry.
Why should you attend Not only do we bring together a diverse and experienced speaking faculty, we truly focus on education and networking. You will NOT
find exhibit halls or software vendors pushing their services at our summits. We also aim to keep the attendee group size to a
“comfortable” number with different break out session options allowing you and your team to converse and interact with other
attendees and presenters and not getting “lost” in the crowd. By attending, you and your group will walk away with invaluableactionable examples, insights and connections that will help you tackle challenges in your current role.
Unique format We understand not everyone learns at the same pace or delivery method. Our learning sessions range from 1 hour keynote sessions,
to 25 minute engaging “experience sessions” and also 2+ hour workshops that offer more hands-on, interactive learning. You are
also able to chose any of the sessions to attend even if they are not in the same “track”.
What is included Along with the excellent learning and networking opportunities, your tuition fee covers CPE credits, a full, hearty breakfast, lunch,
snacks and refreshments for both days. Also, stay after the last session on day 1 for our networking
reception and enjoy drinks on us while you network with your peers.
