Three Bridges, NJ - April 8, 2026
Unovance Global, the unified force behind Auction Techs and AuctionEXT, proudly announced its role as a Premier Sponsor at the prestigious Certified Auctioneers Institute (CAI), hosted by the National Auction Association in Bloomington.
This year’s event marked a historic milestone, the 50th Anniversary of CAI, bringing together some of the most accomplished and forward-thinking professionals in the auction industry for a week of high-level education, collaboration, and innovation.
Unovance’s presence at CAI 50 was nothing short of transformative. Positioned at the center of the CAI Next experience, the company introduced its groundbreaking Private Label Auction Platform, capturing the attention of auctioneers from across the country and beyond.
A Defining Moment for the Future of Auctions
Throughout the event, Unovance Global engaged with a powerful network of industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and next-generation auction professionals. The response to its Private Label platform was immediate and overwhelming. Auctioneers were drawn to a concept that challenges the traditional model, complete ownership of their technology, marketplace, and data, turning what has historically been a recurring software expense into a scalable, transferable business asset.
“The level of engagement and interest we experienced at CAI 50 was unprecedented,” said Larry Garafola, Founder of Auction Techs and Co-Founder of Unovance Global. “Auctioneers are no longer satisfied with renting technology. They are ready to own their future—and that’s exactly what Unovance delivers.”
While many providers continue to promote incremental improvements, Unovance’s message resonated because it represents a fundamental shift in how auction businesses operate and scale.
Attendees were introduced to:
The result was a steady stream of conversations, follow-up meetings, and strategic partnerships forming in real time throughout the week. As CAI celebrated five decades of shaping the auction industry’s most elite professionals, Unovance Global positioned itself at the forefront of what comes next.
“This wasn’t just another event for us,” Garafola added. “Being part of the 50th Anniversary of CAI—after attending the 25th years ago—was incredibly meaningful. But what made it truly special was seeing how ready the industry is for what we’ve built.”
The impact of Unovance’s presence at CAI 50 continues to build. With growing demand for private-label solutions and increasing awareness of AI-driven auction technology, the company is accelerating its mission to redefine industry standards. As the auction industry evolves, one message became clear in Bloomington: The future will not belong to those who follow, it will belong to those who own.
