year, attendees spend an intensive week on-site, working late nights on
strategic projects, fine-tuning business plans, and collaborating with top
professionals in the field.
Earning
the CAI designation is a mark of distinction in the auction industry. It
signifies that an auctioneer has:
·
Strong professional relationships and networks
·
A mastery of auction methods and asset classes
·
A strategic business mindset and technology
literacy
·
Ethical business practices and leadership
skills
Many
clients look for CAI-certified professionals when selecting an auctioneer,
knowing it represents the highest level of expertise and professionalism.
