THINK BIG. LEARN BIG.
LETTER FROM THE CHAIR
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the ASA’ s Business Valuation and Conference Planning Committees, it is my distinct honor to invite you to the ASA’ s 32nd Annual Advanced Business Valuation Conference. This year’ s conference will unfold on the beautiful banks of the iconic Riverwalk in San Antonio, Texas.
We have in store a marvelous three days of curriculum whereby we will challenge ourselves to this year’ s motto- Think Big. Learn Big. As an attendee, you will have close knit access to the finest single collection of advanced business valuation minds and topics in the world this year – right here in San Antonio. Stop and think about that for a moment. This is an unparalleled opportunity in the valuation community that only the ASA provides. It is our sincerest hope that you take full advantage of it!
First and foremost, sessions will offer practical guidance you can utilize directly to the benefit of you and your clients. Our numerous interactive presentations provide an exclusive venue where you can discuss, question, and reason with some of the industry’ s most notable professionals who will share their candid, insightful advice. You will also have the opportunity to hear stimulating perspectives on critical, changing and even contentious industry issues.
Additionally, this conference presents a natural opportunity to personally connect, network and socialize with colleagues, friends, and former ASA classmates. We also will have occasions to interact with our sponsors as well. As an extra benefit, this year’ s Advanced BV Conference will be held in conjunction with ASA’ s International Appraisers Conference. There will be several important joint general sessions focusing on crossover topics that impact appraisers across disciplines.
In the spirit of thinking and learning big, we are aiming at( hopefully) exceeding your expectations, extolling the ASA, and extending our profession further towards excellence, rigor, and integrity. These things are what the ASA stands for and continually aspires to.
See you on the Riverwalk! Best,
Bryce Erickson, ASA 2013 Conference Chair
