Every auctioneer has that one story they’ll never forget.

For 2026 Women’s IAC Champion Carrie Hessney-Doran, one auction stands out from all the rest. Carrie takes us back to a moment that reminds you why no two days in this profession are ever quite the same. What auction story do you still find yourself telling?

What are other auction professionals seeing in the estate marketplace right now? Let’s talk about it.

Join Justin Vondenhuevel, CAI, AARE, CES, GPPA, and Jack Christy, Jr., CAI, AMM, BAS, CES, GPPA, on November 17 for a CES Mastermind Discussion built around the opportunities, challenges, and trends shaping estate auctions. Bring your questions, share what you’re seeing in your own business, and leave with ideas from professionals working through the same challenges you are.

Registration is complimentary for CES designation holders and available to all other auction professionals for a nominal fee. Register today at https://members.auctioneers.org/events/ces-mastermind-discussion

Professional ringmen are essential to live auction price discovery, reading bidders, communicating with the auctioneer and one another, and keeping every interested buyer engaged as competition determines value. This past weekend, we were proud to celebrate Brian Rigby and 30 years of the Professional Ringmen’s Institute dedicated to strengthening that craft.

Congratulations to Brian and to NAA members Shannon Eason, Mike Jones, and Craig Meier as they take the reins at PRI. We love celebrating our friends who continue investing in the auction profession and its future. Here’s to 30 years of making sure every bid gets seen!

Your ability to communicate can change the outcome before the bidding ever begins.

At Interpersonal Communications for Auction Professionals (ICAP), spend two days strengthening the skills behind client negotiations, presentations, auctioneering, and competition. Through practical exercises, situational learning, and self-awareness, ICAP is built to help you better understand not only what you communicate, but how others receive it.

Space in ICAP is limited, and Designation Academy registration closes November 27. Don’t wait to claim your spot. Register for ICAP at https://members.auctioneers.org/events/2026-interpersonal-communications-for-auction-professionals-icap

If this week taught us anything, the future of the auction profession has some serious energy behind it.

To everyone we met at the 99th National FFA Convention & Expo: keep learning, keep competing, keep raising your hand, and keep chasing the things that excite you. We hope auctioneering is one of them. 💙💛

The auction might be over, but the customer experience isn’t.

Shipping can quickly become one of the most complicated parts of an auction business, from packaging and rising carrier costs to pricing, risk, and buyer expectations. Join Brad Stoecker and Jason Deel for an interactive Mastermind Discussion comparing real-world approaches to in-house shipping, third-party fulfillment, protecting profitability, and figuring out what actually works for your operation.

Bring your questions, your shipping headaches, and your own experiences to the conversation. Register today at https://members.auctioneers.org/events/shipping-best-practices---mastermind-discussion

What’s the best advice you’ve ever received, and who gave it to you?

For 2026 Women’s IAC Champion Carrie Hessney-Doran, the lesson came from her dad, and it shaped a definition of success that goes well beyond what happens on the auction block. Sometimes the lessons that shape a career have very little to do with the work itself.

10/21/2026

Fi****ms showing up in an auction can bring questions you don’t want to be figuring out on auction day.

Tomorrow at 12 p.m. CT, Women’s IAC Champion Carrie Hessney-Doran leads a beginner-friendly Fi****ms Mastermind Discussion covering FFL basics, when a license may be needed, how to obtain one, and important considerations before marketing or selling fi****ms at auction. Whether fi****ms are already crossing your block or you’re considering the asset class, bring your questions and spend an hour getting better prepared.

NAA members attend at no cost. Register for tomorrow’s discussion at https://members.auctioneers.org/events/fi****ms-discussion

10/20/2026

Knowing what something sold for is one thing. Understanding why the market valued it there is another.

The Professional Valuation Specialist (PVS) designation is built to strengthen how auction professionals understand and communicate value through valuation principles, methodologies, and market dynamics, without crossing into appraisal practice. Spend three days in Las Vegas building the knowledge to have stronger, more informed conversations with clients about the assets in front of you.

Registration closes November 27. Explore PVS and register at https://members.auctioneers.org/events/2026-professional-valuation-specialist-pvs

If you can lead a room, communicate under pressure, build relationships, or compete, the auction profession has a place for you.

That’s why the National Auction Association is headed to the 99th National FFA Convention & Expo. FFA is developing young leaders with skills our profession needs, and we want those students to know that auctioneering can be more than something they see at the county fair. It can become a career, a business, a community, and a place to lead. 2026 IJAC Champion and Chisholm FFA member Logan Snider is already showing what that path can look like.

So, to the thousands of FFA members headed to Indianapolis: come find us at the Expo. Ask us about auctioneering. Try the chant. Meet the professionals. See where your skills could take you. We’re not just looking forward to the future of this profession. We’re coming to meet it.
