Outgoing President

Ed Jensen

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to welcome you to our 2009 Forecast Conference & Tradeshow On Top Of Your Game.

Five year ago I chaired the committee that organized the first Forecast Conference & Tradeshow. A lot of people had confidence that this event would grow and become one of the Board's premier events. That first year, we had already outgrown the venue, thanks to the overwhelming support and excitement shown by our members, the exhibitors and the sponsors.

And now we are celebrating our 5th anniversary and not only is our attendance growing every year, but so is our profile and reputation as being a first class event.

Our objectives for this event remain true year after year:

To provide an opportunity to network with colleagues
To provide an opportunity for professional development
To provide a tradeshow forum for our members to increase their network of suppliers
To provide our members with the tools and information they will need to understand how our industry and marketplace will change for the year ahead

Thank you for supporting this event over the last 5 years; it has been a privilege for me to have been part of its creation and inception.
