Concrete Industry Management Program Seeks Donations For 2026 Auction At World of Concrete
The Concrete Industry Management (CIM) program is seeking donations for its 2026 CIM Auction to be held at World of Concrete. The auction is scheduled for Wednesday, Jan. 21, 2026, at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The silent auction will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the live auction begins at 1 p.m.
“The proceeds from the 2026 CIM Auction will benefit the CIM National Steering Committee (NSC) and support the current CIM programs at California State University – Chico, Middle Tennessee State University, New Jersey Institute of Technology, South Dakota State University, Texas State University and the Executive MBA program, as well as help fund scholarships,” said Ben Robuck, Chairman of the CIM Auction Committee.
Once again, the CIM Auction organizers are hoping for a record event in 2026. According to CIM Marketing Committee Chairman Brian Gallagher, the 2025 auction was a tremendous success, raising more than $2.2 million in gross revenue.
“The annual CIM Auction is a critical funding mechanism for the CIM NSC,” said Gallagher. “We’ve been blessed with tremendous support from the concrete industry and the World of Concrete Show Management has been an amazing partner.”
World of Concrete exhibits are open from Jan. 20-22, and seminars run Jan. 19-22.
Last year’s auction items included two concrete mixer trucks, a concrete pump, a laser screed and much more. Other donated items included cement, fly ash, aggregate, concrete saws, drills, safety equipment, training sessions, reference books and software subscriptions, sports travel packages, golf and vacation travel packages and much more.
Those interested in donating to the auction should contact CIM Auction Committee Chairman Ben Robuck at ben.robuck@cemex.com or (404) 456-6867.
