What Conferences, Events, and News Does ASA Publish?

Updated

ASA (appraisers.org) publishes a Conferences & Events section with upcoming conferences and events, a Global Valuation Symposium, and a Latest News section, alongside an extensive calendar of classes and webinars organized by appraisal discipline. If you are looking for professional development, networking, or recorded sessions you may have missed, these are the areas of the site to check.

Conferences and Events

The site's Conferences & Events area is organized around three kinds of content:

  • Upcoming Conferences & Events — the forward-looking list of what is scheduled next.
  • Conference & Event Recordings — sessions captured from past events, useful if you could not attend in person.
  • Global Valuation Symposium — a named event listed within the conferences and events structure.

The page also references joining "in DC or Virtually," indicating that at least some events offer both an in-person and a virtual attendance option. For any specific event, confirm dates, location, and registration terms on the event's own page rather than assuming a format.

Classes and Webinars by Discipline

Beyond conferences, ASA maintains an ongoing education calendar. The site offers both a List View and a Calendar View of upcoming classes and webinars, so you can browse chronologically or scan a schedule.

Education is grouped by appraisal discipline, each with its own course library and webinar listings:

Discipline What the site lists
Appraisal Review & Management (ARM) ARM Course Library, upcoming ARM classes and webinars, prerecorded ARM webinars, challenging an ARM course
Business Valuation (BV) BV Course Library, upcoming BV classes and webinars, prerecorded BV webinars, challenge exam options
Intangible Asset (IA) IA education and prerecorded BV webinars
Gems & Jewelry (GJ) GJ Course Library, upcoming GJ classes and webinars
Machinery & Technical Specialties (MTS) MTS Course Library, upcoming classes and webinars, prerecorded MTS webinars, aircraft valuation education
Personal Property (PP) PP Course Library, upcoming PP classes and webinars
Real Property (RP) RP Course Library, upcoming RP classes and webinars, online USPAP and RP education, prerecorded RP webinars

There is also Chapter Education, with upcoming chapter education, chapter resources, chapter RP and USPAP courses, course licensing, and event marketing support — relevant if you participate through a local chapter.

Latest News

The homepage includes a Latest News section for organizational announcements. The page evidence shows the heading but not the individual news items, so treat the news feed as the place to check for current updates rather than a fixed list.

How to Use These Sections

  1. Decide what you need — a live event, a recorded session, or a structured course.
  2. Go to the matching area — Conferences & Events for events and recordings; Upcoming Classes & Webinars (List or Calendar View) for scheduled education.
  3. Filter by discipline — use the ARM, BV, IA, GJ, MTS, PP, or RP sections to find content in your field.
  4. Verify details on the item's page — the site does not publish pricing or attendance terms in the material reviewed here, so confirm cost, format, and eligibility before committing.

A practical example: if you work in machinery and technical specialties and missed a recent webinar, check the MTS section for prerecorded webinars first, then look at upcoming MTS classes if you want live instruction.
