2020 Louisiana Auctioneers Convention

Saturday | DTB | Marksville, La

The Louisiana Auctioneers Association (LAA) will held their annual convention at the Paragon Casino and Resort in Marksville, La. We are waiting on the Paragon to send available dates.

**We will be sending out an email to all members when we have available dates from the Paragon Resort to see what will work best with everyone's schedule.***

Presidental Letter:

Dear Louisiana Auctioneers Association Members it is with great sadness that we have to send this announcement regarding our upcoming 2020 LAA Convention. Due to the Governor's orders and the COVID-19 virus we are forced to postpone the June 5th & 6th Convention in Marksville, La. We have been unable to reach the Paragon Convention coordinators to get available new dates, when we have this information we will send out mailers and email notifications.

During this trying to time we hope all our all our fellow auctioneers and staff are safe and prospering. The auction profession/auction prices are still standing firm during these times and if you need any assistance or guidance we are here to help.

Thank you,

Jeff McCon
