Ahhh, it’s that time of year again, the annual Benefit Auction Summit hosted by the National Auctioneers Association. This is the time each year when many of the top fundraising auctioneers in the country get together for 3 days of top-tier education and networking. While our classes are good each year, it’s our time catching up with each other that really pays off.

Hours of socializing inevitably lead to shop talk, and I learned what’s been happening with events in California, Texas, Atlanta, Minneapolis, Chicago, Portland and much more. This really does add important tools and techniques that I bring to you each fall.

In addition, we got to meet with new vendors, learn about the latest consignment trip offerings, and even win prizes (I won the drawing!)

I haven’t missed a Summit since its inception in 2010, and I’m thankful for 3 great days to head into Fall 2022 with joy.
