"Valuation in an Upside Down World"
The upcoming SECBA/IACVA Southeast Regional Conference will be held in Atlanta, Georgia, USA on September 30(Friday) and October 1(Saturday), 2016 at the Airport Westin (hotel).
Join the SECBA, its new partner, IACVA, and BVR for the 2016 Annual Conference, Business Valuation in an Upside Down World. The world continues to flatten as international issues touch all appraisers. The impact of international operations, global economy, global competition and the convergence of valuation standards pose challenges to every business appraiser. Join us in Atlanta for another information rich conference. Network with esteemed professionals and share ideas with national thought leaders.
Why You Should Attend
The presentations at this year’s conference will focus on some of the major issues faced by appraisers outside the estate and gift tax arena. The application of theory or the choice of techniques used to develop an appropriate deliverable may take different twists as we step away from these traditional engagements. All business valuators, CPA’s, and attorneys are welcome to attend.
When we step beyond estate and gift tax valuations and into the real world, we face different “choices” available as they relate to the valuation process. Join us as we focus on some of the areas that are critical to getting to the right value on the value continuum. The conference promises to be truly outstanding and will cover issues that affect how business appraisers determine value and will discuss both classic considerations and emerging trends.
Join us in Atlanta as our national recognized speakers share their knowledge and experience. The depth of knowledge and fellowship at the SECBA Conference brings back many participants and speakers, year after year. Come and enjoy the warm hospitality of our Southeast Chapter.
