MEDFORD, Mass. - March 10, 2022 - PRLog -- The annual International Symposium on Forecasting (ISF), hosted by the International Institute of Forecasters (IIF), will be held in Oxford, England, this year from July 10-13.

With a stimulating scientific and practitioner agenda, and plenty of networking opportunities, ISF 2022 will be a truly memorable event," says John Boylan, general chair of ISF 2022 and professor at Lancaster University.
