Frequently Asked Questions
Is registration open? Will there be a virtual option? Can I see all the sessions virtually?
Registration will open on March 30th at noon. It will remain open until through the conference. We will have 20-25 workshops videos placed on the conference website for viewing beginning on Wednesday, July 26, 2023. This will be the only part of the conference available as a virtual option. Area meetings will not be a part of the online system. Those will be available through September 1, 2022. There will not be a separate registration for the online parts of the conference.

Any family members or award winners will be asked to register as a guest if they will be onsite during the week. We will be asking guests to sign our waiver just like our members and exhibitors will be doing.

We will have an Exhibit Hall?
Yes, a live exhibit show will be held. Exhibitor registration has been open and we currently have over 83 exhibits registered. We will post a list of exhibitors at a future date. The Exhibit Show will be open Monday 10 a.m - 5 p.m, Tuesday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m., Wednesday 8 a.m.-5 p.m. and Thursday 8 a.m. -12 p.m. We will continue the exhibitor showcases in the exhibit hall starting on Wednesday and concluding Thursday morning. Watch for signs at conference for the schedule. Exhibitor Showcase attendees will receive credit for attending.
When will a list of workshops be posted?
We have had a great list of workshops that will be posted soon. We will have recorded some of these for the online library, a few others were selected for only online, and then will record the workshops in Landmark BC. A complete list of workshops will be posted by June 20th. All workshops in person will be one hour. A few of the recordings may be 30 minutes long.
Will meals be served each day at the Conference?
Many Monday workshops that are morning or all day will include a boxed lunch. Also due to the Area Meeting schedule, we will not be serving lunch on-site on Tuesday. We will offer a boxed lunch that you can purchase when you register. We will charge you $5.00 for a boxed lunch and will cover the rest of the cost. We will provide a meal at Family Night that will be determined in the near future.
How will Family Night operate?
Family night will be done as normal and the Texas Auctioneer Association will auction some items that will have the proceeds go to our Scholarship Fund. We are expecting the Family Night to be off site.
Will there be any Scholarship Fundraisers?
The Fun Run will be held on Monday morning. The Corn Hole tournament will also be held during family night. We will hold the Floral Cup Fundraise offsite on Monday afternoon. A golf tournament will occur on Monday at Iron Horse Golf Course. More details will be posted soon.
Hall of Fame
Hall of Fame Induction will be moved to Friday Mornings General session. We will have a reception for them prior to the General Session.
