TFI Quarterly Forum
First held in November 1999, TFI’s Quarterly Forum for Electronics Manufacturing Outsourcing and Supply Chain (Forum) events deliver the latest, most comprehensive industry market data, forecasts, trends, and issues as evaluated and presented by TFI experts. Quarterly Forum Members choose the topics to be researched and discussed, and the format of each event provides real-time interactive opportunities to review and assess the issues and opportunities presented in Forum sessions.

Since its inception, each Forum has delivered numerous content-rich reports and presentations to its members. Topics for each Forum are selected jointly by TFI and its members with input from a nine-member Corporate Advisory Council. Current members of this Council include:
The board comprises senior members from three OEMs, three EMS/ODM suppliers, and three (software, component distribution, semiconductor) supplier companies.
Forum members have password protected access to these informative and valuable materials during and after the Forum events through the Members Only section of the website. As the electronics manufacturing services industry continues its explosive growth, the need for timely information to support supply chain and manufacturing decisions becomes more critical. The Forum has proven to be the only member-directed resource to meet this need.
For Quarterly Forum members, TFI has presented more than 75 original research studies at 30 Forums and throughout Canada, Mexico, and the United States - with occasional Forums Europe and Asia.
