Welcome to the MPI Texas Hill Country Chapter Online Silent Auction

This year’s Celebration and Auction theme centers around wine, ‘MPI & YOU - A Perfect Pairing’. Texas has a rich grape history so it’s no surprise there is a wine revolution happening right here in our own backyard. Many of our auction donations are centered around our theme showcasing Texas wine as well as multiple hotel stays at the top luxury properties in Texas, attraction passes, sports tickets and much, much more!

Proceeds earned from this charitable event go towards MPI THCC industry scholarships, educational opportunities, professional speakers and chapter operations. Our organization depends on the annual revenue generated by this auction.

If you are not able to attend the Awards Banquet at the Canyon View Event Center in Austin, you can still participate in the auction. All bidders must register through this website to actively bid. Bidding will be accepted until 7:00 p.m. on June 17, 2017.

Please take time to carefully review the many auction items available and bid generously. If you have questions concerning online bidding, please contact Ellen Forsythe, CMP at (512) 452-4224 office, (512) 431-9545 cell or email [email protected].

Thank you for your support of the Texas Hill Country Chapter of Meeting Professionals International.
