The Future of the Auction Industry Starts Here
The National Auction Association is committed to introducing the next generation to the auction industry and giving young people opportunities to learn, compete, lead and grow.

International Junior Auctioneer Championship
The International Junior Auctioneer Championship (IJAC) gives young people ages 12–18 the opportunity to develop their bid-calling skills, build confidence and compete on a national stage at the NAA Conference & Show.
IJAC is also recognized as a National FFA Endorsed Activity, creating another pathway for FFA members to experience the auction profession and put their communication and leadership skills into action.
More Than a Career. A Skill Set for Life.
Auctioneering develops confidence, communication, entrepreneurship, leadership and the ability to think on your feet. Those skills can open doors in the auction industry—and serve young people wherever their futures take them.
By investing in NextGen members and building relationships with organizations that reach young people across the country, NAA is helping ensure the auction industry continues to grow, evolve and thrive for generations to come.
