IPTI recently hosted two major international conferences, bringing together professionals, government representatives and industry leaders to share knowledge, discuss emerging trends and strengthen international collaboration.

The Conference of Valuation Agencies (CoVA 2026), held in Ottawa, Canada, on October 6-7, welcomed approximately 150 delegates from 15 countries. The conference explored the evolving role of valuation agencies, with discussions covering technology and artificial intelligence, data management, modernization, stakeholder engagement and the future of property valuation.

In November, IPTI partnered with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) to host the 2026 Caribbean Valuation and Construction Conference in Kingston, Jamaica. The event welcomed more than 200 speakers and delegates from 19 countries for two days of discussions on current developments and emerging challenges in the valuation and construction sectors. The conference also provided an opportunity to strengthen regional networks and encourage the next generation of professionals, including students from the University of Technology, Jamaica.

IPTI extends its sincere thanks to all speakers, delegates, sponsors and supporting organizations whose contributions helped make both conferences a success.

Through these events, IPTI continues to advance professional knowledge, foster international cooperation and support the development of the property tax, valuation and construction sectors worldwide.
