2027 Convention brings hundreds of exhibitors, exclusive hunting opportunities, auctions and four days of experiences to Nashville
Safari Club International (SCI) is proud to announce that exhibit space for the 2027 SCI Convention has officially sold out, marking the fifth consecutive year the organization has reached capacity since bringing its annual Convention to Nashville.
The milestone reinforces the SCI Convention as one of the premier gatherings for the global hunting and conservation community, bringing together hunters, outfitters, conservation organizations, manufacturers, retailers, conservation leaders and outdoor enthusiasts from around the world.
For those who have never experienced an SCI Convention, the message is simple: you don't know until you go.
More than a trade show, the SCI Convention is a place to meet people, discover new gear and opportunities, hear stories, share experiences and take in everything the global hunting community has to offer under one roof. Attendees can connect with outfitters, explore products and services from hundreds of exhibitors, take part in auctions and unique purchasing opportunities, learn from industry experts and discover new opportunities in hunting and conservation.
The SCI auctions are among its most distinctive attractions, offering attendees the opportunity to bid on exceptional hunting experiences in the United States and destinations around the world, as well as unique items and experiences donated by exhibitors, outfitters and other supporters.
Beyond the exhibit floor, attendees can participate in SCI Record Book activities, pursue measurer certification, attend educational programs and connect with the people and organizations advancing conservation and advocacy around the world.
"Five consecutive exhibitor sellouts in Nashville is a significant accomplishment and a clear indication of the value our Convention provides," said W. Laird Hamberlin, CEO of Safari Club International. "Our exhibitors recognize that SCI brings together a highly engaged audience that is passionate about hunting, conservation, and the outdoors. We have built something very strong in Nashville, and we are continuing to raise the standard for what the SCI Convention can be."
SCI President Jeff Meyerl said the Convention's success is ultimately about the people who come together each year.
"You can tell somebody about the Convention, but they really don't understand it until they've been here," said Meyerl. "I've been fortunate to see a lot of these gatherings over the years, and there's something special about having so many folks come together who share the same love for the outdoors. You see old friends, you make new ones, and before long, you're sharing stories like you've known each other for years. That's what makes this Convention special."
Exhibit space may be sold out, but attendee registration is open. The 2027 SCI Convention will take place January 20–23 at Music City Center in Nashville, Tennessee. Attendees can explore the sold-out exhibit floor, participate in auctions and Convention programs, meet outfitters and industry leaders, and experience firsthand what makes the SCI Convention unlike any other gathering in the outdoor community.
Whether you're a longtime SCI member or someone who has never been to an SCI Convention before, the 2027 SCI Convention offers a chance to see what SCI is all about, meet people behind the organization and find new ways to get involved.
Come experience the Convention and see for yourself why thousands of people return to SCI each year.
You don't know until you go.
