The Silent Auction is a fun opportunity for convention attendees and exhibitors to bid on items for a worthy cause!

Proceeds benefit the Public Lands Alliance Education and Scholarship Fund, providing PLA member organizations with support to attend valuable trainings throughout the year. We encourage you to be creative and work with your team and partners to assemble unique donation packages for the silent auction. Popular items that receive top bids include trips and adventure packages, handmade crafts, jewelry, food items and gift baskets. Be sure to consider items that are easy to ship and pack.

Donating Items Onsite (Preferred Method): If attending the PLA 2025 convention, please bring your donation and completed Silent Auction Donation and Bidding Form to the PLA On-Site Registration Desk or Silent Auction Table. For non-attendees wishing to donate, contact Keynola@publiclandsalliance.org. If you wish to ship your auction donation item(s) to yourself at your hotel, please contact your hotel for shipping, or to the attention of PLA at the hotel.
