IAAO is currently reviewing proposals submitted for the 2025 Annual Conference, Sept. 21-24 in Orlando to select programs that reflect innovative, cutting-edge content that stimulates and provokes discussion and audience engagement, and facilitates knowledge transfer and development of new competencies. Notices on selected presentations will be made at the end of April.
Topic Areas
Presenters
Topic areas are defined by the IAAO Body of Knowledge (BoK). The BoK is a framework for defining the key knowledge, skills, and subskills for the mass appraisal profession. Your submission should relate to one or more of these knowledge areas. Details are on the guidelines, below.
As you consider your presentation topic, the BoK and potential topic areas are provided in the submission guidelines and should be used as a guide for developing your potential presentation.
Business Partners
Again this year is an Exhibitor Showcase – a chance for business partners to provide live demonstrations in a dedicated space. A separate submission form will be required and additional information is available on the Exhibitor Showcase page.
