There’s still time to take advantage of discounted “early bird” registration for the AI 2019 Annual Conference! Here’s more about that, and other news, from the past month.

Last Chance for Discounted Registration at AI Annual Conference

“Early bird” registration for this year’s Appraisal Institute Annual Conference ends May 3 – just one week from today! This special rate is $150 less than the onsite price, so I encourage you to register now.

The 2019 AI Annual Conference will take place July 22-24 at the downtown Hyatt Regency Denver near the Colorado Convention Center, steps from all the Mile High City has to offer.

Allison Massari – an entrepreneur, celebrated artist and executive coach named on the “Best Keynote Speakers List” by Meetings & Conventions magazine – will be this year’s keynote speaker.

The AI Annual Conference also will feature another terrific general session — “Cannabis & Real Estate – The Ripple Effects of Legalization & Regulation” – which will illuminate the impacts legalization and regulation are having on real estate markets.

I hope you’ll join hundreds of your colleagues for informative speakers, networking, continuing education (with the chance to earn Appraisal Institute and state continuing education credit), an awards ceremony, a gala dinner (with a band of AI professionals), exhibits of cutting-edge products and services, and abundant opportunities to explore Denver.
