"Thank you for putting on your seminars and conference. Although
I have used various TFI tables over the years and read several of your
publications, there is an additional and unique learning experience
to be had via the lectures and interaction with the audience and TFI.
Through the questions, comments, and answers one hears the issue presented
from a variety of perspectives and has the opportunity to put in one's
own words their own comments and questions to see if they understand
it or not, etc. One-on-one with the authors, the experts, a wonderful
educational opportunity."
Robert G. Strong, Tax Director
AT&T
"Based on TFI's knowledge, skills and experience, I strongly
recommend their annual Technology Futures Asset Valuation Conference
to anyone who is involved in assessing telecommunications equipment
or anyone involved with telecommunications in some form or another."
Raul Reyes, Business Personal Property Supervisor
Dallas Central Appraisal District
"Overall, the TFI Asset Valuation Conference has excellent and timely topics. The topics are relevant to what is currently happening in today's marketplace, including telecommunications convergence, obsolescence of telecom networks, and the impact of broadband initiatives across the industry. This program is a must for anyone charged with determining fair market value for telecom assets."
Rick Masching, Property Tax Director
Verizon Communications
"Great program...information is timely and program ties together
well. Good for attendees with various background and interests. I highly
recommend."

"I found the insights on technology changes in-process and
planned and their current and expected impact on replacement of assets
most useful. Proper valuation must take into account technological externalities
that will diminish the value of the existing assets. The technological
innovations are having a such an impact that keeping up is essential.
This conference keeps me up to date."
