The 68th-annual RIA Leadership Summit and Expo will be held at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, NV from April 23-25, 2013, and offers a variety of education and networking sessions over the three-day event.
There will be three pre-convention workshops offered on April 23 for professionals who want to learn about specific topics or earn some additional CECs. Lori Young, CR, of Bartwood Construction, will offer a half-day, interactive workshop on estimating for contents restoration. Estimating is not an exact science, but attendees will learn the macro functions of estimating (i.e., the necessity of the “pillar of pricing,” how to avoid “creative” estimating and the importance of writing a “clean sheet”). Attendees will walk away with business estimating tools that will increase their professionalism and help them deliver what they promise to their clients.
