2018 Silent & Live Auctions

The Kentucky Travel Industry Annual Conference's silent and live auctions are a member favorite and are an important source of KTIA revenue for member programs and services. For donors, the auction is a great way to showcase local destinations, properties, attractions, events and products and is also a fun way to support KTIA. For bidders, this is an excellent time to snag great items ranging from bourbon baskets, trips and experience packages, and more! Plus, who doesn't love friendly bidding competition amongst their industry peers?!?

This year's auction will again take place on Handbid, a mobile bidding platform that was introduced in 2017 and received rave reviews. Members are encouraged to begin submitting items now for the Silent & Live Auctions. If you have any questions, please contact Sarah Brock.
