Why Attend

IBF’S S&OP AND IBP BOOT CAMP is an interactive, immersive program that will offer attendees the opportunity to roll up their sleeves and learn from IBF thought leaders in the field. It will help you to learn how to successfully implement S&OP and advance the process with Integrated Business Planning (IBP). You will also learn how to improve your forecasting and demand planning process from the ground up which is the critical initial step of the overall S&OP process. This will help you maximize the value from your planning software investments, as well as reach S&OP and IBP excellence.

GET AN S&OP/IBP CERTIFICATE when you complete this program. Once you've completed the training, take an optional knowledge check exam to validate what you've learned. If you pass, you will receive a shareable digital certificate that demonstrates your knowledge in the field.

CASE STUDIES will feature actual demand and supply scenarios that organizations will face working towards an aligned path forward within the process.

FURTHERMORE, THE EVENT IS GEARED TOWARDS PROFESSIONALS dealing with the same challenges as yourself in S&OP, Demand Planning, Forecasting, and Predictive Analytics. It’s the forward thinking professionals that recognize we don’t have all the answers within our own 4 walls.

Plus, add to your credentials! This program will support preparation for the IBF Certification exams.
