Introduction
The World Association of Valuation Organisations (WAVO) will be hosting its first international congress in Singapore from 27 to 29 November 2006. This is an invaluable opportunity for valuers from various parts of the world to meet, exchange views and discuss issues of common interest. All practising valuers from both private and public sectors as well as valuation lecturers are welcome. We would like to extend an invitation to you to attend this congress as a participant, presenter or as chairperson of a session.
Highlights of this Congress

Singapore’s government has recently decided to award two sites for the development of two large integrated resorts with casinos which attracted great interest from resort developers all over the world. A top prize of US$3000 will be awarded to the Best Investment Analysis Report submitted as recommended by a panel of international assessors.
