Valuation at a Crossroads: Disruption, Data & the Next Generation of Appraisers

Economic volatility, capital market recalibration, demographic shifts, and technological acceleration are converging to transform the appraisal landscape. The question is no longer whether change is coming—but how fast, and who will lead it.

This moderated discussion features senior representatives from leading institutional real estate firms who will share their perspectives on the future of valuation. Panelists will discuss emerging economic risks and opportunities, sector outlooks, and how institutional investors are interpreting market signals. The conversation will also explore how artificial intelligence, automation, and data platforms are influencing appraisal practice, quality control, and efficiency. Are these tools a threat, an opportunity—or both?

Finally, the panel will examine professional trends including recruitment challenges, compensation pressures, evolving career paths, and the skills that will define tomorrow’s successful appraiser.

Join us for a candid, forward-looking dialogue designed to challenge assumptions and spark strategic thinking among BC Professional Appraisers.
