2023 Conference Auctions + Golden Ticket Drawing

The Silent and Live Auctions will be returning to the Wisconsin Lodging Conference & Trade Show!  The auctions offer a variety of getaway packages, dining and spa certificates, holiday gifts, and more. 

For the first time this year, attendees will have the chance to win an amazing auction prize by purchasing one or more “Golden Tickets”. The Golden Ticket drawing will be held live at the conclusion of the Chair’s Reception during the Trade Show on November 6, and the winner will have their choice of any silent auction item. 

Last year, the WHLA auctions raised more than $30,000 making it possible for us to grow our educational scholarship program and continue advocating for the hotel and lodging industry. 
​
As in past years, all proceeds go to the donor’s choice of the WHLA Scholarship, WHLAPAC, or WHLA Conduit funds. 

The WHLA auctions are possible thanks to the generous donations of our members and business supporters. All donors are recognized with printed signage at the auction and online on the WHLA website. There is still time to contribute to these upcoming auctions.
