About the Media & Marketing Auction

KTIA's annual Media & Marketing Auction offers KTIA members an opportunity to receive excellent exposure in some of the state and nation’s top brochures, magazines, and publications. In addition to traditional marketing opportunities, the auction also includes services from research and marking firms, consultants and industry membership organizations. The funds raised from the Media & Marketing Auction help the KTIA produce its many high-quality programs and conferences each year.

Bidders

This virtual auction will take place on Handbid, an online platform designed for easy and fun bidding! Bidding is now open! You can click below to download the 2025 auction catalogue to review the items or you can go ahead and get logged into Handbid, start browsing and placing your bids! See below to get started.

 

1) IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY PARTICIPATED IN ONE OF OUR HANDBID AUCTIONS:

You will first need to register and create and account with Handbid. To do so, click here. From there, you will need to fill out the short form on the screen where all you need to do enter your name, email address, a phone number and submit a password. (Note that you are not required to enter your physical address). Once that information has been processed, a paddle number will be generated and that will serve as your bid number for the auction. 

After those simple steps, you are set to start browsing and bidding by clicking the BROWSE ITEMS button. 

2) IF YOU HAVE ALREADY PARTICIPATED IN ONE OF OUR HANDBID AUCTIONS:

If you have already registered with Handbid during one of our previous auctions (including at the annual conference), you already have an account so you don’t need to register. Simply head to our auction by clicking here. Click "Already Registered? Login to your account" and use your previous credentials. If you are like us and sometimes forget your password, you will have the option to reset it.

Note that because we are only opening this auction to KTIA members (or their representatives), we will have to manually check you into the auction, which could mean a slight delay between your registration and receipt of the welcome message. If you haven't been checked in within 30 minutes of registering, please contact Sarah Brock.
