More than 120 auction items, from luxury getaways to industry perks, with all proceeds benefiting ESCA scholarships
From June 29 through July 2, the Exhibition Services & Contractors Association (ESCA) will host its annual Summer Educational Conference in scenic Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Alongside keynote sessions, networking mixers, and outdoor adventures, attendees can also take part in one of the most popular traditions of the event: the ESCA Silent Auction.
More than just a chance to snag memorable items, the auction supports the ESCA Scholarship Fund, which helps students and newcomers pursue careers in tradeshows and hospitality.
The bidding is already open and will remain live through 8:30 p.m. PDT on Wednesday, July 2. The auction catalog features more than 120 items, including vacation packages, high-end electronics, jewelry, exclusive event registrations, and even high-value advertising opportunities aimed at industry audiences. Whether you’re looking to treat yourself, surprise a colleague, or promote your business, there is plenty to explore.
Standout items include signed guitars from Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran, all-inclusive trips to Cabo and Tuscany, memorabilia from sports and pop culture icons, and valuable conference passes. You do not have to attend in person to participate—bidding is open to all through a dedicated online portal.
Every winning bid helps fund ESCA’s mission to expand access to education and grow the exhibition industry’s talent pipeline. So, place your bids early, bid generously, and help support the next generation of leaders.
