By popular demand, we are merging our two innovative conferences into a single Pyramid FUNctional Conference, Beyond the Basics for 2023! Gain all the latest information on BOTH communication and behaviour-related content. This year’s two-day conference, led by the co-developers of PECS® (Picture Exchange Communication System®) Andy Bondy, PhD and Lori Frost, MS, CCC-SLP will be held virtually on October 16th and 17th, 2023. Day one will focus on the Pyramid Approach to expanding and refining communication skills. Lori Frost will kick off the conference with a presentation on ethical collaboration. Next, an entire talk is dedicated to teaching commenting skills. Critics sometimes falsely claim that Pyramid focuses only on requesting skills – so, here’s your chance to learn about how to expand communication skills to incorporate creative and meaningful commenting opportunities. The first day of the conference will conclude with the debut of a new talk that focuses on implementing strategies to expand communication skills for learners who have some speech. Day two of the conference will focus on a variety of topics related to the conditions under which behavior occurs. The conference will begin with a look at implementation of the Pyramid Approach to Education® around the globe. Participants will leave with fresh ideas to incorporate small programmatic changes that make big differences in creating effective educational environments. Next, our team will explore how prompts are used in everyday life with all new information related to assessment of prompt types for specific learners within carefully designed lessons. The conference will conclude with a full presentation on error correction with Dr. Andy Bondy providing new insights on the topic. Register for one or both days of the conference and learn why Pyramid continues to be the recognised leader in educational and communication innovations!

This online course introduces a model for determining and analysing market value vs fair value of an individual art work. LEVEL 3: Fair Value Analysis This is the third online course in our 'Pathway to become an art market analyst'. This course is a building block on both Big Data and the Art Market (Level 1) and Artist Market Analysis (Level 2), and takes the participant on an analytical journey to establish the market value and the fair value of an individual art object. The analysis is based on the Damien Hirst data provided in Level 2: Artist Market Analysis, and it is important that you finish this course before going on to Level 3. The course introduces participants to the difference between market value and fair value, and provides a practical guide for using market trends to analyse and adjust comparable transactions, and to use this to help establish market value. The ArtTactic Market Metrics from Level 2: Artist Market Analysis, is brought into the analysis to establish the 'Fair Value' of the art work. In addition to this, we will provide a 15 minute online Excel workshop on how to analyse comparable transactions using a subset of the data provided in the Level 2 online course. The course includes: Videos: You will have access to 1h 10m of online video content. The content of this course is building on ArtTactic's own framework for fair analysis and what Anders Petterson is regularly teaching for Art Business programmes at Sotheby's Institute in London. The course also include a 15 minutes Excel workshop. Slides: The students can download pdf copies of the slides used in the presentations. Excel spreadsheet: The student will have access to a subset of data (auction data for Damien Hirst) and a spreadsheet with both tables and graphical tools.
