MEDFORD, Mass. - Washingtoner -- The Foresight Practitioner Conference (FPC), hosted by the International Institute of Forecasters (IIF), will be held March 3-4, 2025 at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, North Carolina, USA.

The FPC brings together business leaders, practitioners, and preeminent researchers to network and critically explore the latest advances in forecasting. The FPC's aim is to improve forecast practice by showcasing the experts and organizations that significantly impact value.

The conference offers a unique opportunity for researchers and business leaders to share their insights and expertise with forecasting professionals.
