Exhibiting

By all accounts our trade shows are the most actively attended in the valuation space. No one else comes close. We have room for 48 booths for this event so don’t procrastinate! We hope to sell them out early.

Our Las Vegas event will be held at the Flamingo , strategically located in the heart of the action on “the strip. Our discounted room rates are amazing. The Las Vegas Flamingo, if you’ve never been, is a terrific location--- great restaurants, an abundance of good margaritas, and prime shopping. This event should be huge. You do not need a fancy booth to participate. All you need is a smile, a good handshake, and some print materials.

Direct mail, in the form of postcards, will go out to every licensed appraiser in the US. They will be mailed in late September. We will also advertise in several of the trade magazines. Last year we found fax broadcasting to be effective as well. This year we have expanding our marketing to include voice broadcasting. This means we are calling and personally inviting appraisers to come. We have already tested this with our other conferences and have seen amazing results from this personal touch. And let's not forget that the bulk of attendees heard about Valuation 2006 through Appraisal Buzz advertising.

If you are a lender and need to recruit vendors there will be no better place. If you are an appraisal management company you have seen the challenges this past year in attracting and keeping good talent. If you have a new product or service to debut this is the venue.

The Collateral Risk Network and the Appraisal Management Company Network, private email forums hosted by Appraisal Buzz, will be meeting in Las Vegas as well. We had record turnout last year in Las Vegas. Hey folks, these are the decision makers! Our lender participation grows every year. They will be at Valuation 2008 checking out the settlement services opportunities and kicking the tires on AVMs and other alternative products.

There is one thing for certain. You can't afford not to be at this event. Also, take a look at the Sponsorship opportunities

Many exhibitors choose to participate in the Appraisal Bee contest. “Giveaways” are a great way to promote traffic specifically to your booth and the trade show in general. For this event, we would like to promote these “giveaways” in advance of the expo so email Kristin Kodenski with what you are promoting. Let’s dangle those “carrots” in front of the Appraisal Buzz subscribers.
