If you’re a fundraising auction professional pursuing education, innovation, and discovery of market trends, who strives to connect, inspire, and collaborate, then the Benefit Auction Summit is one annual event you won’t want to miss! Join us for two-and-a-half days of the most valuable education and networking experiences you’ll find in the benefit and fundraising auction world.

This year's summit will focus on hybrid benefit auctions, starting with our own Hybrid Benefit Auction and Welcome Party on Sunday evening to benefit the Kathy Kingston Benefit Auction Educational Fund with the National Auctioneers Foundation! Not only will it be a fun time to gather (in person or virtually), but it sets the stage for the education program to follow.

There is something for everyone at this summit, whether your preference is in-person benefit auctions, virtual benefit auctions, or combining them in the newly trending hybrid benefit auctions - and how your preference should impact your future business model and strategy.
