Auction (September 15)
We are also still accepting action items. If you would like to submit an item, please click here. And please remember to bring your auction item(s) to the conference!
The USTFA Auction will take place on Tuesday, September 15 during the President’s Reception Dinner, and we are excited for the Baker Auction Group to lead it. If you are unable to attend the conference, you can still bid on the silent auction items via the auction website (item delivery will be coordinated after purchase).
Participants are encouraged to register for the auction here. (Auction registration is recommended but not required for in-person participants.) Please direct any issues or questions to Brady Baker (brady@bakerauctionco.com) or Carson Shriver (carson.shriver@riverence.com). Once registered, users can participate in the auction online or via mobile app (Apple / Android).
Auction Registration Incentive: One of the new experiences we are bringing to this year’s conference is the Riverence dunk tank! If you register for the auction before September 15, you will receive one ball to throw at the dunk tank participants.
