Next month kicks off the busy BV conference season, with several gatherings on both coasts—and a couple in mid-country.  In New York City, the ASA’s local chapter meets May 5 for a seminar on current BV topics.  Likewise, the NY State Society of CPAs meets May 19-20 in Manhattan for its annual BV conference, this year featuring speakers Nancy Fannon, Rob Slee, Susan Mangiero, Mel Abraham, and more.  On the opposite coast, the annual SoCal Appraisers BV meeting (with Pricewaterhouse Coopers) happens on May 16 in Los Angeles, followed by the California CPA Education Foundation's BV Conference on May 28, which focuses on executive compensation. 

Chicago will see two springtime conferences: the Illinois CPA Society holds its annual BV conference on May 6 and the Appraisal Issues Task Force meets on May 13.  (Note: the AITF, a voluntary group of professional appraisers who work to improve the practice of valuation, meets quarterly and is open to all interested parties.)  Last but not least, Las Vegas hosts the biennial AICPA/AAML National Conference on Divorce May 8-9.  For up-to-date contact information for these conferences and more, visit the current BVR Calendar.
