AAA Conference - Early Bird Registration Closes Aug 30

Earlier this month I posted on Art Law Day, Nov 8th at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, 55 5th Ave, New York, NY (click HERE for additional information on Art Law Day). As many appraisers and allied professional know, that is only half of the appraisal education in NYC hosted by the Appraisers Association of America (AAA).

On Nov 9 & 10 AAA hosts its 2019 Of Value: National Conference at the New York Athletic Club. I have attended many of AAA conferences and they always host a great conference with top industry speakers, with timely topics. Some of the best panel discussion on appraisal topics I have seen have been at the AAA annual conference. I highly recommend all appraisers, both new to the profession and seasoned professionals attend this important annual appraisal conference. It is a great conference to network and meet new professionals, the exhibition hall is always full of interesting affiliated partners and you cant beat being in NYC.

The early bird registration closes on August 30th. Registration is as follows:
