EACVA News—Third Quarter 2022

News from the European Association of Certified Valuators and Analysts

 

We do our very best to take care!

 We are proud to be part of the GACVA Chapters family. The EACVA was founded in 2005, based in Frankfurt/Germany and is responsible for the European Business Valuation Professionals. After 17 years, EACVA has reached a new milestone. We are grateful for the trust that more than 1,000 members have placed in us. Many thanks to the NACVA, Parnell Black, Brien Jones, and Chanda Chuon for supporting us in such a professional manner. Eighteen years ago, I attended my first NACVA conference in Miami and asked a participant why he/she is a member of NACVA. The answer: “Because NACVA cares about us.” was impressive and pioneering for me. From the very beginning this was our goal also for our European members.

We learned so much from NACVA on planning and performing professional CVA trainings and conferences, publishing a business valuation magazine for practitioners, supporting our members with information and data sources, and much more. The major networking event for our European members is our annual European Business Valuation Conference, which will now take place for the 15th time on November 03 and 04, 2022in Vienna, Austria, one of the most beautiful cities in Europe.

This year's conference will again provide an exciting learning opportunity for more than 300 attendees to hear from some of the most renowned speakers in the business valuation field while connecting and networking with other valuation professionals. Keynote speeches will be held by Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Ulrich Blum on Outright Economic Warfare: Can It Be Contained? and Bradford Cornell, PhD, on ESG and Valuation.
