NEW! In-Person BONUS Networking Option for 2021
Appraisers just want to have FUN!  We are always looking for ways to exceed your expectations and improve this 71-year old event!  While we cannot hold the actual conference in person, several of our Branch Chapters are holding informal, in-person “Simply Socials” following the conclusion of the conference.  No added fee to attend.  No reservation needed.  Just show up to “Meet and Greet”.  All are welcome and invited to join us. Please check with  the facility relative to COVID protocols.  These in-person will start at 5:30pm (but don’t be afraid to show up early – as long as you don’t skip out of your afternoon breakout before the ending time or you’ll miss out on your CEC) and they will last until . . . well, whenever!
