Upcoming Events: Appraisal Summit and ACTS
Two national gatherings are worth putting on the calendar. Both are run by the National Association of Appraisers and both carry continuing education credit.
2026 Appraisal Summit — Las Vegas
October 31 – November 3, 2026
Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino, Las Vegas
The Summit brings appraisers, AMCs, lenders and regulators together for four days of sessions on valuation practice, technology, and the direction of the profession. Up to 28 hours of continuing education are available, and around 350 people attend. Several ARCOA members go each year.
Registration is open on the NAA member portal, where the full pricing list and schedule are posted. Trainee rates are lower than the standard rate, so trainees should check before registering.
ACTS 2027 — Orlando
April 3 – 6, 2027
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel at the Entrance to Universal Orlando, Orlando, Florida
The ninth annual Appraiser’s Conference and Trade Show is co-hosted by the National Association of Appraisers and Appraiser eLearning, with the Florida Association of Appraisers as state organisation host. ACTS is the spring counterpart to the autumn Summit, and it is deliberately built around appraisers rather than lenders — the tagline is “for appraisers, by appraisers.”
Registration opens December 1, 2026. Until then the conference site is taking names for its mailing list, so the way to hear first is to get on the ACTS list now.
Thanks to Carol Huffman for flagging this one.
Checking for yourself
The NAA keeps its own list of upcoming events, and it is the authoritative one — dates on secondary pages go stale. See the NAA events calendar.
ARCOA is the state-level coalition for Arkansas appraisers; the NAA is the national organisation. NAA membership is separate from ARCOA membership, and many appraisers belong to both.
Going to either event, or know of an Arkansas gathering that belongs on this list? Let us know and we will add it.
