Federal Forecasters Consortium
The 18th Federal Forecasters Conference (FFC/2011) — April 21, 2011 — Washington, DC
Conference Theme: Issues in Forecasting and the Environment
Environmental issues have become an increasing priority for governments, businesses, and consumers. Challenges to forecasters include the implementation of programs and policies addressing efficiency, alternative energy sources, jobs, health, air and water quality, transportation, land use, and recycling programs. The 2011 Federal Forecasters Conference examined how forecasters face these challenges and how policy-makers and other decision-makers use forecasts to make decisions.
