History

View IAAO's timeline!

IAAO was first formed as a national body in 1934 when John C. Donehoo, the city assessor for St. Petersburg, Florida, called together a group of municipal and county assessors to consider the formation of a new group that would serve to train and educate assessment professionals, work toward a more equitable assessment system, and focus on a revision of property tax legislation as a remedy for the Depression, then at its height. Mr. Donehoo served as the Association’s first president.

The IAAO headquarters offices were located in Chicago from the 1930s until 2005 when the Association moved to its present location in downtown Kansas City, Missouri.

The Annual Conference that Matters!

The IAAO Conference is the annual industry event that positions your company in front of more than 1,000 qualified and highly interested assessing officers and appraisal experts.

IAAO has made a number of enhancements to the Conference this year, with a continuing commitment to increase the value for both Business Partners and Attendees.

Whether you’re a first time sponsor or an experienced exhibitor, the Conference Prospectus will help get you started by providing tangible benefits designed to assist you in developing new contacts, generating leads and achieving your marketing and sales objectives.

Exhibiting

Exhibiting at the conference is a fantastic way to meet with your target audience, but it’s not the only way to get to know attendees. The Exhibit Hall hours leave plenty of time for exhibitors to network with attendees outside of the Exhibit Hall.

Each booth includes a specific number of complimentary personnel registrations, and exhibitors are encouraged to take advantage of our reduced exhibitor personnel registration rate of only $400 per additional person.

Sponsorships

Sponsorship is structured to ensure maximum exposure and visibility. Packages are designed to provide targeted, creative and direct sponsorship options to maximize exposure and outreach to the industry.
