The sessions
The State of AI
Exploring how emerging AI tools influence valuation workflows, risk assessment and valuation opinions
Artificial intelligence is moving from the edges of the valuation process towards its core, accelerating data gathering, benchmarking, modelling and reporting. But greater speed brings fresh questions about reliability, transparency and accountability. This opening session examines how AI tools are reshaping valuation workflows, risk assessment and the opinions that rest on them, and what growing reliance on automation means for the professional judgement at the heart of a credible valuation.

Regulating Fair Value
Recommendations for strengthening valuation oversight
Confidence in fair value rests on more than sound methodology. It depends on effective oversight. As scrutiny intensifies around private markets, hard-to-value assets and situations where those who manage assets also value them, regulators and standard setters are asking whether existing safeguards are fit for purpose. This session explores how oversight can be strengthened without diminishing the professional judgement that underpins good practice, and how independence, transparency and consistent standards can reinforce trust.

The Future of Valuation
How will valuation methodologies, data and market expectations evolve in 2026 and beyond?
Valuation is being reshaped by abundant new data, rapid technological change, the rising weight of intangibles, and users who increasingly expect greater frequency and transparency. This forward-looking session considers how methodologies, inputs and expectations are likely to develop over the coming years. Panellists will examine which emerging techniques and data sources are genuinely changing practice, how the role and skill set of the valuer is evolving, and how demand for timely, well-evidenced insight can be met while safeguarding consistency and quality.

Private Assets
Valuation practices in a daily environment
As private markets open up to a broader base of investors through evergreen and semi-liquid structures, valuers face a defining challenge: producing credible, consistent values for inherently illiquid assets on a daily, or near-daily, basis. More frequent NAVs support access and transparency, but raise the stakes around governance, timeliness and fairness between investors. This session addresses the practical realities: how robust, defensible values can be produced at pace, and the controls and independent review needed to support them.

Valuing Global Sports
Examining valuation approaches for a fast-growing sports ecosystem
Sports assets are commanding remarkable valuations as institutional and private capital moves into franchises, leagues, media rights and emerging competitions. Yet these are unusual assets, where scarcity, brand and fan engagement can matter as much as conventional cash flows. This session unpacks the drivers behind rising sports valuations and the approaches best suited to capturing them, from media, streaming and sponsorship to the entry of sophisticated capital, all within recognised valuation methodologies.
