AUGUST 2016, THE SOFITEL NOOSA
SUNDAY 1PM - 8PM, MONDAY 9AM - 8:00PM
The Auction Coaches is an event not to be missed. Heading into it's fourth year it now has a glowing reputation as 'THE' event for auctioneers to attend across Australasia.
The original Auction Coaches concept grew from a pressing need to better connect the auctioneering fraternity and the lack of any effective forum for participants to share and develop ideas. Without these elements in place, individuals would always struggle to stay abreast of an ever-changing real estate market place.
During its first two years, The Auction Coaches was held in Melbourne, quickly establishing itself as a compelling conduit to satisfy both objectives. In 2015 The Auction Coaches found it's home in Noosa on Queensland's Sunshine Coast again recieving glowing reviews from all in attendance.
In 2016 The Auction Coaches will again be held at Noosa - the perfect opportunity for southerners and kiwis to escape the cold. The format will remain similar to that of previous years, including presentations from past Australasian champions covering all aspects of auctioneering, and the popular break-out practical sessions where attendees will be encouraged to present a call to both their peers and the auction coaches to be critiqued.
The fourth evolution of The Auction Coaches will offer outstanding content across both the Sunday and Monday and conclude with an auctioneering competition involving some of Australasia's finest auctioneers competing for a cash prize. The Auction Coaches 2016 will once again bring together some of the best auction minds in one place for an event like no other.
