One of the many exciting new opportunities that will be present at the 2017 NIRSA Annual Conference & Campus Rec and Wellness Expo is the NIRSA Foundation Corporate Auction! Beginning on Monday, February 6 we will have a live site filled with incredible items donated by our amazing partners. Whether you attend NIRSA 2017 or not, you will have the opportunity to bid on equipment, certifications, consulting packages, hospitality items, and gift cards.
Our site will accept your purchasing card or personal credit card and issue the appropriate receipts for your purchases. So whether you want to purchase for your facility or yourself, you can be a part of this exciting new event that will support NIRSA member scholarships, research, and professional development.
The auction bidding will happen in real time through your smart phone or computer. Live bidding will close at the end of the Closing General Session. We are extremely grateful to PLAE and Matrix for sponsoring our inaugural auction. Watch the NIRSA Foundation Corporate Auction page of the NIRSA website for updated auction information and a link to bidding. A link to the auction site will also be present in the Guidebook© app used at the Annual Conference.
