2025 Dallas Safari Club Convention heading to Atlanta

The Dallas Safari Club Convention will be heading to Atlanta, Georgia, from 2025 until 2029.

Following an announcement from the City of Dallas of a multiyear project to demolish and rebuild the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center — the venue the Dallas Safari Club Convention has called home for 14 years — some tricky logistics have surfaced. As excited as all parties are about what will eventually be a state-of-the-art facility in Dallas, the project requires DSC to find a new home for the event until construction is complete.

After a comprehensive review of 32 locations, spanning from Texas and across the U.S., DSC chose the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta as its temporary home.

Dates for the DSC Conventions in Atlanta will not change from those previously published, and Atlanta representatives will be in attendance at the 2024 Convention in Dallas to provide a wealth of information about the convention center, the city and their commitment to delivering a world-class experience.

In addition to the annual Conventions to be held in Atlanta from 2025 through 2029, DSC also announced that, beginning it 2025, it will host a second convention in Dallas each summer. Aligned with the DSC Foundation Gala, this Expo will feature many exhibitor partners, include evening events and culminate with the annual DSC Foundation Gala on Saturday night.

DSC will host the upcoming 2024 DSC Convention and Sporting Expo Jan. 11-14, 2024, in Dallas, again kicking off the year as the first major hunting and conservation show in North America.

The DSC Convention expects to bring together an estimated 40,000 individuals in total attendance, and approximately 900 exhibitor partners representing 72 different countries from around the globe.

Dallas Safari Club Convention & Expo 2022

December 31, 2021

After all of the cancellations in 2021, I know I am not alone in welcoming the show back in 2022. We are very pleased to announce Westley Richards & Co. will be back attending the Dallas Safari Club Hunter’s Convention and Expo this week helping the club celebrate its 40th.

By LD McCaa

As usual, Dallas Safari Club will be the first hunting convention of the new year, held this week Thursday January 6 th through Sunday the 9 th at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in downtown Dallas. While this convention has historically been smaller in size than Safari Club International’s hunting convention, the DSC’s show has grown exponentially in the last decade, now contending with the SCI show in number of vendors and attendees. Along with routinely being the first show of the year, Dallas makes an excellent venue and city for such an event, adding to the success of this show and making it a favorite among vendors and patrons alike.

Recognising DSC’s ascension to the top of the hunting convention food chain, Westley Richards & Co. moved to expand our presence at the DSC show after 2020’s event. This new larger set up, booth number: 4123 , is in direct response to DSC’s growth and, based on the feedback we are hearing from customer’s planning to attend this year’s show, we are pleased we had the foresight to secure the bigger space.

Despite the last several weeks bringing increased concern surrounding the Omicron variant of COVID-19, DSC has assured us, the show will not be cancelled. With even more good news coming on Christmas Eve, the Biden administration is lifting travel restrictions on eight southern African countries imposed last month, including Botswana, Mozambique, South Africa, an Zimbabwe, all of which are, important safari destinations. The travel ban will be lifted December 31st , just in time for safari operators from these countries to attend. In a segment of the industry that has dealt with mounting pressure from all sides, and hit especially hard during last year’s travel closures, this is a welcome development indeed.

As a final note, due to the unprecedented demand we are experiencing for our new bespoke guns and rifles, we would like to encourage anyone interested in discussing the commission of new order to take advantage of DSC’s convention being the year’s first show and secure your place in the order queue. In addition, we are happy to discuss our services regarding the evaluation and sale of pre-owned guns and rifles. Please call or email us to schedule an appointment for before, during, or after show hours or timed around our travel for the shows.

We look forward to seeing you.

Dallas Safari Club Announces Their New Convention Home, Atlanta

The Dallas Safari Club has resided in their titular town and hosted their January convention therein for 40 plus years. However after next year, 2024, Dallas has plans for the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center. Those plans won’t be quick enough for 2025 so DSC needed a new spot.

They have picked it.

Atlanta, Georgia.

Dallas Safari Club (DSC) looks forward to hosting the upcoming 2024 DSC Convention and Sporting Expo in Dallas, TX, January 11-14, 2024. We are excited to again host the greatest exhibitor partners and attendees to our amazing Convention. The DSC Convention kicks off each year as the first major hunting and conservation show in North America. Inspired by true southern hospitality, we are proud to have delivered a world class event in Dallas for over 40 years.

The DSC Convention expects to bring together an estimated 40,000 individuals in total attendance, and approximately 900 exhibitor partners representing 72 different countries from around the globe, while spanning across 700,000-sq.-ft. of exhibit hall space inside the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center Dallas.

As we look beyond 2024, inevitable changes are in our future. The City of Dallas has announced a multi-year plan to demolish and rebuild the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, the site of our event for the last 14 years. While there is excitement about what will be a state-of-the-art facility here in Dallas, this massive project requires DSC to find a new home for our Convention for the years 2025-2029, until construction is complete.

After a comprehensive review 32 locations, spanning Texas and across the US, DSC is excited to announce that the 2025-2029 DSC Conventions will be held in Atlanta, GA at the Georgia World Congress Center. Our intense search and evaluation took into consideration convention center facilities, hotels, amenities, and international airport access, as well as regional outdoor lifestyle demographics. We are extremely confident that the Georgia World Congress Center will be the premier site to deliver successful DSC Conventions to come!

Dates for the DSC Conventions in Atlanta will not change from those previously published, and we are certain our exhibitor partners, attendees, and guests will continue to enjoy the southern hospitality, which is the hallmark of the DSC Convention. Atlanta representatives will be on hand at the 2024 Convention in Dallas to provide a wealth of information about the convention center, the city, and their commitment to delivering a world class experience.

In addition to the annual Conventions to be held in Atlanta, from 2025-2029, DSC is excited to announce that in 2025 we will begin hosting a second convention in Dallas each summer. Aligned with the DSC Foundation Gala, this Expo will feature many of our valued Exhibitor Partners, include evening events, and culminate with the annual DSC Foundation Gala on Saturday night.

While Dallas will always be home and we are very excited about the future of the new Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, DSC looks forward to the opportunity to take the greatest hunting and conservation show on the road for a few years. We look forward to seeing you in Dallas, TX, January 11-14, 2024, and encourage you to please make plans to join us in Atlanta beginning in 2025!

Atlanta is an excellent convention town, downtown has food, lodging, entertainment, and they host a revolving plethora of regular attendees. It’s an excellent choice for the show.
