FRANKLIN, Tenn. -

Auction Academy is expanding its Seminar Series for 2016, and will now include four individual sessions throughout the year.

The inaugural session was held in the Chicago area in late July and focused on the role of digital managers at auction.

“We felt there was a need in the industry for a shorter-term training program with an intensive focus on specific topics, and thus launched our Seminar Series with a session for digital managers last July,” said Pierre Pons, the chief executive officer of Auction Academy. “That session was a resounding success, with attendance far exceeding our initial estimates and very positive evaluations.

“As a result, we decided to expand the Seminar Series to include one session in each quarter in 2016, highlighting a key topic of specific interest to the independent auction community at each session,” he added.

All of the 2016 seminars will take place in Nashville, Tenn. 

Here’s how that schedule shakes out:

Q1: Dealer Sales
Feb. 8-9
Nashville, Tenn.
Who should attend: Dealer sales managers
 

Q2: Digital Managers
