RICS is pleased to invite you to a CPD and networking event at Bond University, Gold Coast - 1 Hour CPD

Join us for the book launch of Advancing Real Property Valuation: AI, Drones & Emerging Digital Technologies in Professional Practice and Education.

This landmark publication brings together leading academics and industry experts to explore the transformative role of technology in property valuation, from AI-driven valuation models to drone-assisted data collection and other emerging digital tools.

The event will feature a keynote by Professor David Parker FRICS, presentations from contributing authors, and a panel discussion on the implications of these innovations for professional practice and education globally.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to purchase copies of the book, with proceeds supporting wider access to educational resources in regions where professional development materials are limited.

Proceeds from the book sales and ticketing will support wider access to Advancing Real Property Valuation in regions where professional development resources are limited, including countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

This initiative aims to make cutting-edge property valuation knowledge more accessible to students, educators, and practitioners who face challenges accessing textbooks behind paywalls. Attending this launch not only celebrates the publication but also contributes to advancing education and professional practice globally.
