Silent but Mighty: Get Ready for the 2025 FICP Silent Auction

The 2025 FICP Silent Auction — donating and bidding — is open to all FICP members and hospitality partners, regardless of Annual Conference attendance. While the donation site opens August 1, now is the perfect time to start planning your contributions. Donations will be accepted through October 10, and bidding will run from September 24 to November 4 at 1:00 p.m. ET.

FICP is seeking packages and items of all sizes to make this year’s auction successful. Hotel stays and travel-related donations continue to be crowd favorites, but we also welcome a wide range of unique offerings such as sports memorabilia, signed instruments or albums, tickets to concerts and events, golf outings, wine bottles or tastings, themed baskets (food, spa, gardening and more), work-inspired items like luggage or backpacks, technology gadgets, high-end kitchen appliances, designer style items, outdoor gear and gift certificates.

Start thinking creatively and get ready to donate, bid and support the FICP community this fall!
