Demand & Supply Integration Forums Fall Event

Supply Chain Strategy & Management Forum
November 10-12, 2009

&

Demand and Sales Forecasting Management Forum
November 11-13, 2009

On behalf of the faculty & staff of the Demand & Supply Integration Forums, we invite you to join us at the Fall 2009 Forums.  This unique event brings the Supply Chain Strategy & Management Forum and the Demand & Sales Forecasting Management Forum together at the Knoxville Marriott during the same week.  Furthermore, a joint plenary session on November 12th offers a great opportunity to interact with both supply chain and forecasting professionals regarding topics of interest to both groups.  We believe this unique format will provide the best of both worlds by allowing attendees to benchmark with supply chain and forecasting colleagues who are facing simlar challenges in today’s dynamic business environment.  Sponsors are invited to attend both meetings at no additional charge.
