2026 IPPE Silent Auction to Assist Atlanta Community Food Bank
A diverse lineup of items, ranging from sports memorabilia and entertainment and historical collectibles to VIP trips and hunting packages, along with jewelry, handbags, and curated spirit and wine packages, will be auctioned during the 2026 International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) in Atlanta, Jan. 27 – 29.
The silent auction is presented through the special collaboration of IPPE and Expo Auctions. Net proceeds will benefit the Atlanta Community Food Bank, a non-profit organization that helps more than 755,000 people obtain healthy food each year throughout metro Atlanta and North Georgia.
“The IPPE attendees and exhibitors are essential partners in feeding a growing global population. We are proud to once again offer the IPPE silent auction as a way to support the Atlanta Community Food Bank and its ongoing work to combat hunger across Atlanta and North Georgia,” said IPPE show organizers.
Silent auctions will take place on each day of the 2026 IPPE, beginning at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 27, and ending at 3 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 29. Show attendees and exhibit personnel will be able to view most of the auction items displayed on tables located on the trade show floor at BC34104 and level 4 of the B-Building or via the official auction website. Expo Auctions' mobile bidding platform allows bidders to participate from anywhere in the world using their smartphones.
Text notifications and communication of payment options and pick-up will be sent to bid winners at the close of each day’s auction. Winning bidders, including those not attending the 2026 IPPE, will be charged for shipping their merchandise if required.
More information about the 2026 IPPE, including registration details and lodging, is available at ippexpo.org.
