Michigan auctioneers celebrate 60 years of bid calling
Lansing, Mich. – The Michigan State Auctioneers Association will celebrate 60 years of auctioneering in Michigan at their 60th Annual Conference, Jan. 25-28 at the Causeway Bay Hotel in Lansing.

The conference provides attendees with numerous opportunities to network with fellow auctioneers and auction firms, learn from experts, compete with your marketing designs and test your talent in the Auctioneer & Ringman Championships. 

Highlights of the conference include educational seminars conducted by auction professionals ranging from online auctions and marketing to bid calling with World Champion Livestock Auctioneer, Ralph Wade. A trade show will be featured during the conference with auction suppliers and exhibitors from all over the country. A President’s Banquet, Awards, Scholarships and the prostate cancer research benefit auction are also cornerstones of the conference.
The most popular feature of the annual event is its competitions.  Each year, the Michigan State Auctioneers Association hosts the Michigan Auctioneer Championship where dozens of skilled auctioneers participate in a lively competition for the coveted crown. In addition, attendees will enjoy the Michigan Ringman Championship.

“Our auctioneer and ringman competitions are open to the general public and free to attend. It’s good old fashioned fun with modern flair for the whole family,” said Michigan State Auctioneers Association Executive Director Tricia Wiltjer.
