We are very pleased to announce the annual ARLIS/NA Conference Silent Auction! The theme for the 2018 conference is “Out of Bounds”, reflective of the wide ranging culture of New York City. We are looking forward to an outstanding array of items for you to bid on in remembrance of your time in NYC.

As in years past, the onsite silent auction will feature donated items from our generous chapters, members, and sponsors. All conference attendees will get a chance to bid in person over the course of two days in the exhibitions hall at the midtown Hilton, with items open for perusal from early afternoon Tuesday February 27th until mid-afternoon Wednesday February 28th. In addition, we will be hosting an online auction via Bidding Owl, to allow for both conference attendees and those who are unable to attend to bid for these same items on the web. The online auction will go live two weeks prior to the conference, so that all interested will be able to support the Society through their generous bids.

The proceeds from any sales will be returned to ARLIS/NA to support travel awards, membership, professional development, and other organizational initiatives.

Individuals and organizations, local or international, are welcome and encouraged to participate. See below for additional information about donating to the 2018 Silent Auction.

The Silent Auction will take place in the Exhibit Hall of the Midtown Hilton on Tuesday, February 27th from 1:30 PM to 6:00 PM, and Wednesday, February 28th, from 9:30 AM until 3:30 PM.

Last call for bidding, both in person and online, will be on Wednesday at 3:30 PM. Items may be picked up at the auction close from 3:30 PM until 6:00 PM. There will be an option to add on flat rate USPS shipping for those of you purchasing heavier items, as well as those bidding remotely who require shipping.
