Support the Next Generation of Millers through the IMEF Auction
Auction activities to support the International Milling Education Foundation (IMEF) will be held during the 128th Annual IAOM Conference & Expo. Past items have included iPads, hunting and fishing trips, electronics, golf range finders, smokers, sieves, tickets to college and professional sporting events, TVs, coffee brewers, getaway trips to exotic locations, handmade quilts, and much, much more!
Live Auction
The Live Auction will take place after the Annual Banquet Dinner the evening of Thursday, April 18 at the 128th Annual IAOM Conference & Expo in Salt Lake City, Utah. An auctioneer will be on hand to keep the bidding interesting and make sure everyone has a shot at the fabulous items on the sale block.
Silent Auction
With the Silent Auction taking place via mobile app, it’s not even necessary for you to be present to participate in the Silent Auction bidding, which opens on Monday, April 8 and ends during the banquet the evening of Thursday, April 18. Our totally Silent Auction caters to an even stealthier crowd. Our extensive auction catalog is a veritable treasure trove of coveted objects, services, and experiences—with 100% of proceeds benefiting IMEF.
With every dollar you spend helping IMEF, we encourage you to let loose your competitive spirit and generous nature to top that last bid!
Your winning bid (and contribution) ensures that IMEF will be able to continue to inspire leadership and achievement within the milling community!
Proceeds from the Auctions support the learning, knowledge resources and vibrant community provided by the International Milling Education Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) U.S. tax-deductible organization.
Help raise money to support future generations of milling professionals!
