Federal Forecasters Consortium

The Federal Forecasters Consortium (FFC) is a collaborative effort of agencies in the United States government, as well as other interested parties in the academic and not-for-profit communities, who share an interest in the practice, planning and use of forecasting activities by and within the federal government.

The annual FFC Consortium provides a forum where forecasters from federal agencies and other organizations can meet and discuss various aspects of forecasting.

The 2024 Federal Forecasters Conference, held on Thursday, May 23rd, at the U.S. Treasury, was a great success. Click the button below for full 2024 Conference details including a recording of the morning sessions.
