The American Society of Appraisers has just picked up more hotel rooms (at conference rates) to accommodate the swell of attendees to arrive in San Diego from October 29-31 for this year’s Advanced Business Valuation Conference.  Also new: the ASA just announced keynote address by Ed Trott, two-term FASB board member, who will speak on SFAS 157 Fair Value Measurement and related issues, likely to include the need for valuation standards and the recent formation of the FASB’s valuation resource group.  (If his remarks at the April roundtable on FASB’s Invitation to Comment on Valuation Standards are any indication, Trott may have some interesting views on “client bias” and analysts’ reliance on management projections; see BVWire #57-4.) 

Only a handful of spots are left at the conference and the hotel, so book your place now by clicking here.  The cut-off date for special hotel rates is September 24, 2007.  And take note: there are just a few sponsorship opportunities and conference ad space still available; for more information, contact Samantha Bowerman.
