SCI Convention 2027

According to figures published by the organizer, the SCI Convention draws 18,000+ attendees representing 114+ countries. The show features 950+ exhibitors, 50+ seminars and meet-and-greets, and hundreds of auction items (460+ hunt items and 520+ non-hunt items). SCI reports that its events have raised $20 million+ for SCI/SCIF advocacy and conservation.

The SCI Convention is a members-only event, so attendees must hold an active SCI membership. Tickets can be purchased online through the convention's registration portal, with pricing starting at $155.

Ticket and pass options include:

• Single-day attendance
• Multi-day attendance
• Banquets and auctions
• Entertainment
• Add-ons such as the Weatherby Event, GSCO events, and the SCIF Conservation Leadership Award Gala

Each active member may bring one guest, who must have a paid registration but does not need to be a member. Youth badges (0–12) are free, and 13–17-year-old badges are free thanks to a sponsorship with the Outdoors Tomorrow Foundation. The final day to request a refund is January 4, 2027 (midnight CST). Attendees can pick up tickets at the registration counter on Level 2 or print them at self-service kiosks using the barcode emailed on January 11, 2027.

Safari Club International's convention is a long-running annual event; the 2027 edition is promoted with a 55-year convention logo, reflecting decades of history as a hunting and conservation gathering. The convention has grown into what SCI calls the world's premier hunting show, drawing tens of thousands of attendees from more than 100 countries and raising over $20 million for SCI and SCI Foundation advocacy and conservation programs. The organizer described the 2026 edition as its "most successful ever." Recent conventions have been held at the Music City Center in Nashville, Tennessee, which is also slated to host the 2028 show.
