Monday
The featured speakers selected for the GIS/Valuation Technologies Conference,
April 3-6 in Las Vegas, are Zillow researcher Andy Krause, Ph.D., and
Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman. They will address changes and
disruptions in the housing market.
The conference will take place at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort
and the hotel reservation deadline is Monday, March 13. The conference
is a favorite annual event for assessors and GIS professionals who apply
technology to make property assessment and tax administration more
accurate and efficient for a quarter of a century.
Keynotes - The changing housing market
Andy Krause, Ph.D.,
Senior Manager, Applied Science at Zillow, leads new research and
development for Zillow’s Zestimate and related home valuation products.
Before joining Zillow, he taught research methods and data science at
the University of Melbourne and worked as a data scientist developing
Automated Valuation Models. Krause will speak on the challenges caused
by housing market disruptions on AVMs and departments maintaining mass
appraisal functions.
 Carolyn Goodman has been mayor of Las Vegas since 2011, succeeding her husband who served 12 years as Mayor.  Along
with Clark County (Nevada) Assessor Briana Johnson, they will address
the local housing market changes. In the past the Las Vegas housing
market has been viewed as the canary in the coal mine for the housing
market, signaling future changes. Briana was elected Clark County
Assessor in 2018 and prior to being elected, she served over 20 years in
the Assessor's Office.
