The membership is truly cross-disciplinary, representing such fields of endeavor as economics, statistics, operations, finance, marketing, local/state/federal government, and institutions involved with improving the workplace, environment, and quality of life.
Founded in 1980, the IIF publishes the scholarly International Journal of Forecasting (IJF) and the practitioner journal Foresight. It offers certificate programs in forecasting methods, provides grants to promising researchers in the field, and maintains collaborations designed to improve the practice of forecasting.
