Who attends this conference?
- Assessors who want to implement, improve or expand their use of information technology, specifically geographic information systems (GIS) and computer assisted mass appraisal (CAMA).
- Managers of specific appraisal and assessment functions who are looking for new and improved IT applications.
- GIS managers who either are in, or serve, assessment departments.
The Program Committee will organize an educational program based upon the abstracts submitted through the Call for Presentations. Suggested topics include:
Systems & Data Integration
How do you integrate systems, computer applications, databases, work
processes, and networks in the assessment office? There is a lot to
consider, including, data management and maintenance, network operations,
system design, process and data modeling, database design, cooperative
development, and many other topics.
CAMA Modeling
CAMA modeling has come a long way. What are the methods and results of
mathematical models used in the appraisal of property? The presentations in
this track may focus on the use of location in models, visual display of
results with GIS, advanced modeling techniques, 3-D visualization, and other
related topics.
Internet/Public Access
One of the hottest topics in the field! How do you develop and use the
Internet within the assessment field, and what are the effects of widespread
public access to this data? What are the many technical considerations and
web-based applications to consider? How do you deal with privacy vs. public
information, marketing data, liability, and other related topics?
Management Issues
Administrators in today’s assessment office are seriously challenged when it
comes to managing GIS & CAMA data. Further challenges arise in the
implementation of GIS and the development of practical applications for the
assessment office. Not only are there hardware and software considerations
to manage, but there are also staffing concerns and the need to justify
technology investments.
Other Current and Hot Topics
Some topics do not fit into a specific category. Additionally, there may be
important developments that need to be discussed and shared.
