Nationally Recognized Business Valuation Experts to Attend Advanced Business Valuation Conference

Sept. 30, 2010 - PRLog -- Herndon, Va. — Over 600 nationally recognized business valuation experts—renowned in valuations of businesses such as sports franchises and stadiums, a celebrity’s worth or intangibles like brand names, patents or royalty rates—will meet Oct. 4–6 at the American Society of Appraisers (ASA) and Canadian Institute on Chartered Business Valuators’ (CICBV) 29th Advanced Business Valuation Conference at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel in Miami.

More than 29 different countries will be represented at the 29th annual conference, featuring industry leading business valuation speakers and presenters. Attendees have a wide range of valuation experience with both tangible and intangible properties (such as Jay Fishman, ASA, who has valued the celebrity worth of media stars Nicole Kidman, Rudy Giulani and Jeff Gordon).

“The annual Advanced Business Valuation Conference has consistently offered business appraisers a venue for learning current valuation theory and practice,” said William Quackenbush, ASA, Advent Valuation Advisors LLC. “This year we are offering learning tracks in transaction/advisory services, valuation for financial reporting, and fair market value/litigation. Also this year, as we have done so quadrennially for some time, we are hosting the conference jointly with the Canadian Institute of Chartered Business Valuators. With the immediately following International Valuation Summit and the IVSC (International Valuation Standards Committee) semi-annual meetings, our conference will have a definite international flavor to it, as more than 600 people from 29 countries on six continents are attending.”
