Wisconsin Auctioneers Association’s Summer Event: A Perfect Blend of Inspiration, Adventure, and Camaraderie

The Wisconsin Auctioneers Association (WAA) recently hosted a summer event that seamlessly combined professional growth, outdoor adventure, and heartfelt camaraderie, making it an unforgettable experience for all attendees.

The event began with a welcoming breakfast, followed by a thought-provoking keynote address. The speaker captivated everyone with insights on “The good stuff,” offering strategies and perspectives that resonated deeply with auctioneers looking to refine their leadership and elevate their businesses. This session set a positive tone for the day, sparking conversations and ideas that lingered long after.

After a morning of inspiration, attendees embraced the outdoors with an afternoon of horseback riding through scenic trails. The experience provided a perfect mix of relaxation and connection, allowing auctioneers to bond over shared experiences and enjoy the natural beauty surrounding them.

As evening approached, the group gathered for a musical performance that brought everyone together in a lively and joyful atmosphere. Following the music, attendees circled around a campfire, sharing stories and creating lasting memories in the warm glow of the fire. The combination of music, laughter, and storytelling made for a perfect end to the day.

The next morning began with another hearty breakfast, leading into an engaging produce auction led by one of the attending auctioneers. This hands-on experience offered a practical glimpse into the world of auctioneering, rounding out the event with a blend of working together and excitement.

“The ultimate summer event for auctioneers!”

Looking forward, the WAA is already planning next year’s event, which promises even more adventure with the addition of ATVing. With the success of this year’s gathering, next year’s event is sure to be an experience you won’t want to miss. Be sure to mark your calendars for another round of inspiration, adventure, and community bonding!
