6 answeredIBF Leadership Forum 2026 took place on October 21, 2026.
IBF Leadership Forum 2026 was held at Wyndham Grand Orlando Resort Bonnet Creek in Orlando, Florida, USA.
The forum was for senior leaders in business planning, forecasting, demand planning, supply chain, finance, S&OP/IBP, analytics, and transformation.
It was a one-day executive-level forum held within IBF's Best Practices Conference.
It is most useful for senior planning, S&OP and supply chain leaders who want a focused executive day, since it was aimed at senior leaders in forecasting, demand planning and finance and included an optional S&OP maturity self-assessment with a one-on-one expert review. Analysts and junior planners wanting hands-on method training would get more from the Fundamentals tutorial or the Best Practices Conference days, which ran around the forum in the same week.
Executives at forecasting and supply chain leadership forums usually wear business casual to business professional, and the Orlando resort setting with a VIP dinner suggests a jacket for the evening; the organizer points to its FAQ page for the official dress code.
