Five interactive panel discussions on the developments reshaping how the world measures value.
Now in its seventh year, the IVSC Valuation Webinar Series brings together an audience from more than 100 countries, with over 8,000 people registering for the 2025 series. Across five hour-long sessions, it explores the major trends shaping valuation and assembles world-leading experts to share perspectives from across valuation, investment, regulation, standard-setting, business and academia.
The sessions are interactive, giving attendees the opportunity to shape the discussion and share their views on the pace of change and how valuation is being reshaped. The series is free to join, and everyone who registers gains access to the on-demand recordings and to digital resources that complement each session. We are grateful to our series sponsor, Kroll, for supporting the IVSC Valuation Webinar Series in 2026.
The sessions
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 and media rights. Yet these are unusual assets, where scarcity, brand and fan engagement can matter as much as conventional cash flows. This session unpacks what is driving the rapid rise in the prices paid for sports franchises, and how valuers keep their conclusions grounded in fundamentals and observed market transactions rather than speculation. Panellists will consider established revenue streams such as media rights and sponsorship, newer sources such as fan data monetisation and betting markets, and the approaches best suited to capturing them within recognised valuation methodologies.

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 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.

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.

The Future of Valuation
How will valuation methodologies, data and market expectations evolve in 2026 and beyond?
Among the many international forces reshaping how value is measured and advised upon, this session focuses on three: the growing demand for more frequent valuation, enabled by AI; the continuing influence of climate on risk and value; and the rising share of enterprise value held in intangible assets. It examines what each means for valuation quality, governance and oversight, and for the valuer’s shift towards a more strategic role advising boards on value creation. All three are global in reach and run through every part of the valuation process and the profession.
