Modeling & Valuation: This track covers valuation topics including modeling, valuation methodologies, machine learning, data visualization, and manipulation, as well as ratio studies. The track will also feature sessions on reappraisal as well as best practice case studies on the application of methodologies.

Leadership Development & Policy: Managing a GIS, assessment system, or a team of appraisers, cadastral mappers or GIS technicians requires more than just technical capabilities. This track contains essential presentations to help guide you through GIS planning, understanding changing policy, emerging technology, and developing soft skills to enhance your leadership abilities.
