Register nowThe valuation world gathers in Cologne
Each year the IVSC Annual General Meeting & Conference brings together valuation leaders, regulators, standard-setters and member organisations from more than 40 countries. In 2026 it comes to Cologne, Germany, hosted by HypZert.
Across three days at the Koelnmesse, the programme moves from the governance of the global standards (the Standards Boards and the formal AGM) to a full day of open debate at the Advisory Forum, and on to the international stage of the HypZert Annual Convention and WAVO Conference, presented with simultaneous English and German translation.
It is the one moment in the calendar where the people who write, adopt and apply International Valuation Standards are in the same room, and where the next chapter of the profession takes shape.
