Jason KellerOctober 28, 2025 · 3 min read

Ritchie Bros. will host its premier global auction event in Orlando, FL, from February 16 to 20, 2026 – an annual event that attracts thousands of consignors and bidders from all over the world.

Last year was tremendous success, with 19,000+ registrants from 75+ countries competed online for 16,000+ items, resulting in US$250+ million of equipment sold.

This year, sellers will have their choice of flexible selling options whether delivering their assets to our 200+ acre, world-class facility or leveraging our virtual selling option. Bidding this year will be available online and in-person, with a live auctioneer and bid catchers onsite. 

In addition, Day 2 will feature the highly anticipated return of the live ramp sale, bringing back the excitement of heavy machinery rolling across the ramp.

“We’re looking forward to welcoming customers to Orlando once again for what has become more than an auction – it’s an industry-leading event that we’ve watched grow in size and scope every year. Most importantly, it’s a place where customers, colleagues and industry partners come together to do great business,” said Jake Lawson, President and Head of Ritchie Bros. North America Sales. “With live onsite bidding and equipment-ramping back for 2026, it’s on track to be our most exciting event yet.”
