ISA ANNUAL CONFERENCE
And, dont forget to register for the ISA Annual Conference, Assets 2015, Above and Beyond in Philadelphia, March 20-23, 2015. According to the ISA conference attendees page, it appears that there are already nearly 120 registered appraisers. Given the early registration numbers, it is entirely possible that ISA will see a record in attendance for its annual conference in Philadelphia in March.
Sponsorship opportunities, which is an important indicator in how an organization and conference viability is viewed by related business and organizations, such as insurers and auction houses, has been gaining traction. Freeman's and Eli Wilner are the conferences Platinum Sponsors, Chubb and Great Gadsby Auctions as Gold Sponsors, and the Potomack Company, Bonhmas, Collector Systems and Quinns have singed on as Silver Sponsors. After breaking sponsorship records at ISA conference in Chicago in 2013, then breaking it again in Kansas City in 2014, it looks as if the record may fall again in Philadelphia. I think the record sponsorship speaks volumes on how ISA is now positioned and perceived in the marketplace.
If you have not registered, do so before the next discounted registration period (only $600.00) ends on Jan 31, 2015. Click on the graphic below for more information.
