A synchronous (via ZOOM) 4-hour CEC program

 

The Northern California Chapter of the Appraisal Institute proudly presents the Coastal California Conference, a premier education and networking event serving appraisal professionals throughout California and beyond. Originally established in 1960, the Monterey Bay Appraisal Seminar entered a new era in 2025 with a new name and renewed vision that reflects the dynamic markets, regulatory issues, and valuation challenges facing California’s coastal communities.

Today, the Coastal California Conference builds on that legacy by delivering timely topics, high-quality continuing education, and meaningful networking opportunities for valuation professionals.  Offered in a convenient ZOOM format, the conference provides convenient access for attendees locally, statewide, and across the nation.

Here’s what our 2025 attendees had to say about the conference:

• “I will make money on what I learned.  Met contacts that I expect to work with or collaborate with in the future.”
• “I am so glad I joined the Coastal Conference. Great speakers. I also joined the appraisal referral network.”
• “The conference was very informative. The dynamic interview session is worthy of its own 2-hour CE class – lots of really good points raised.”
• “It was an excellent program that flew by with great topics, speakers, moderators and discussions. The 4-hr format was perfect. I usually feel a session might be weak or could have been improved, but they were all really good!”
