Since its inception in 2017, the IVAS-IVSC Business Valuation Conference has been a flagship event in the Asia Pacific region, attracting over 1,000 local and regional attendees. This year’s conference marks an exciting milestone as we partner with CFA Society Singapore for the first time, creating a unique platform that brings together professionals from both the business valuation and investment management communities to foster meaningful dialogue and share valuable insights.

The theme of this year's conference, "Navigating New Realities in Corporate Markets", will look at developments in the global markets against the backdrop of heightened geopolitical uncertainty. It will explore the role of business valuation and investment management professionals in managing the opportunities and risks of operating in this challenging environment, whether it is defining enterprise value or seeking alpha in a volatile market. In addition, the conference also provides a roadmap for both professions to thrive through innovations in methodologies and market best practices in distinguishing between transient market euphoria versus sustainable growth. The presentations and panel discussions will bring the attendees beyond the hype of technological disruption to examine tangible monetisation as a core driver of enterprise value.
