WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

The ICFC is an international communications conference for marketing, forecasting and demand analysis. The ICFC is a professional forum for forecasters, demand analysts, market researchers, product managers, statisticians, academics, and consultants interested in the communications industry. The ICFC provides insight into and analysis of existing and emerging issues in communications forecasting, planning, demand analysis, market research and cost analysis.

The ICFC is designed by industry experts specifically for Telecommunications Professionals. The challenge for telecommunications forecasters, planners, and analysts is to respond to the dynamics of our industry by integrating marketing, technology and consumer behavior into companies' tactical and strategic decision making processes.

As technological advances and worldwide economic integration render international borders virtually irrelevant for telecommunications end users, we are faced with unprecedented new challenges. Both wireline and wireless service areas now extend beyond familiar regional and national boundaries and most large telcos have become multinational corporations. Nevertheless, business planning requirements must still be based on knowledge of customers, competitors and markets as well as assessments of internal costs and efficiencies. How can customer behavior be understood in an environment of reduced regulation, increasing bypass opportunities, offshore competition and blurring of the distinction among services? The ICFC is the premier forum for discussion of the forecasting, marketing and demand analysis challenges. If you want one cost-effective conference targeted to your needs - this is it!
