CELEBRATING AUCTION EXCELLENCE: HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE 14TH ANNUAL AUCTION EXPO

Empowering Auctioneers, Building Networks, and Shaping the Future of Auctioneering at the Premier Event of the Year!

Last week, the 14th Annual Auction Expo, held in Kansas City, Mo., saw an overwhelming turnout, marked by packed rooms with industry experts, veteran auctioneers, and folks just starting their auctioneering journey.  Auctioneers traveled from all across the U.S., and Canada.

This year’s sessions were both diverse and cutting-edge, covering various topics such as “Leveraging Artificial Intelligence with Auctions,” “Building and Securing Your Brand,” and “Professional Negotiation Techniques.” This course lineup was crafted to address the evolving needs and interests of auction professionals.

“When we began building this formal auction training program, it became readily apparent there was a deeper need in our industry for professional auction training and education. United Country is proud to underwrite this powerful event each year for ALL auctioneers, which is designed to provide a heightened level of professional auction training, as well as build stronger networks between auctioneers across the country, said ” Shawn Terrel President of United Country Real Estate | Auction Services. 

The Annual Auction Expo is expanding as evident by the increased number of vendors that participated this year.  All those who attended had the opportunity to engage exhibitors showcasing a wide range of new auction software, marketing strategies, and auction equipment companies, providing tools and crucial insight into the auction trade.

Thanks to the generous donations from our exhibitors, including items like a National Auction Association membership, auction marketing and advertising packages, and even a flatscreen TV, we successfully raised a generous amount of funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital during the silent auction, which was a staple of the event.

As we wrap up this year’s successes, early birds can look forward to registering for the 15th Annual Auction Expo. Dates for the event will be released very soon, and given the event’s rising popularity, it is recommended that you secure your seat early. This event keeps filling up fast, so don’t wait!

Johnny Horton, of H5 Auction & Realty, marked his fifth year as an Auction Expo attendee. He commented, “The topics and speakers were new and fresh! Lots of great information that will be easily applicable in our business as we return to work. The speakers this year did a phenomenal job. I encourage any auctioneer, any real estate agent who has never attended, or those who might have missed attending the past couple of Expos to commit to attending the 15th Annual Auction Expo in 2024”.

The Annual Auction Expo isn’t just any event; it’s a commitment to the auctioneering community, enhancing skills and forging long-lasting relationships. If this year is any indication, the 2024 15^th Annual Auction Expo promises to be even grander! Don’t miss out!
