we have a limited number of discounted rooms available.

This year, we’ve added new courses focusing on how to on how to reduce overhead, collect the money you’re owed, market yourself effectively and deliver top-notch client service to generate more repeat business to conquer any market condition. Visit the ‘Training courses and HOTs page’ for a full list of courses with descriptions.
Do I need to pre-register for the classes?
No. It's not required. All classes will be offered multiple times throughout the convention.
You’re free to come and go to as many courses as you want, when you want.
What do I need to bring to the classes?
Just you and an open mind. When you check in, your welcome kit will include your registration badge, course manuals, a pen, and other various items. Make sure you wear your badge at all times, as nobody without a badge will be allowed into any of the classrooms.
Can I bring my laptop?
Our courses are designed so that a laptop is not needed. All of the information will be presented clearly in the given outlines. However, if you choose to bring your laptop, keep in mind that space and power outlets will be limited. Make sure you battery is fully charged each day.
Will I get Continuing Education for the classes?
No. These courses are designed to maximize your knowledge of the industry tools you use everyday. We don't write our course material based on what each state's appraisal board requires. If you simply want to sit through another boring course to gain a few hours of CE credit, these courses probably aren't for you. Our courses will be engaging, entertaining, and most importantly, relevant to your needs. If you are interested in receiving a few hours of CE credit, we’ve teamed up with McKissock to offer a few courses before and after our convention dates. For more information and to register visit or call 800-328-2008.
Will there be any prizes or giveaways?

Will there be entertainment at the dinner?
The evening will be packed with laughs and good company. We’ll have a D.J. and comedian, Blake Clark, will be in the house, so we’ll have some great laughs and then we’ll dance the night away. When that many appraisers get together, it's bound to be a good time!
Who will be there from your office? Can I meet my favorite tech and sales person?
There's a great chance you will! We'll have a large booth in the exhibit hall where you can meet with our technicians, sales people, and product developers and more. We're bringing over 75 people so that should provide you with every opportunity to put a face with the voice.
