Presentations

I routinely speak at research and practitioner conferences. If you are interested in a tutorial or keynote speech on organisational forecasting, demand planning for supply chain management, or employing forecasting methods from statistics or computational intelligence such as artificial neural networks, please don't hesitate to contact me.
