by The Dallas Safari Club Convention and Sporting Expo starts Friday, February 6th, in Atlanta. It will be held in Building C of the Georgia World Congress Center.
The convention this year will be one day shorter than the 2025 convention. That convention was marred by snow on Friday which cut attendance and by not being in Dallas. The convention has also moved to Building C which is a slightly smaller venue than Building B where it was held last year.
Frankly, the City of Dallas screwed DSC by saying the Kay Bailey Hutchison Dallas Convention Center would be in the process of being torn down in January 2025 and thus not available. Given that information, DSC had to make the decision months in advance to move the convention to another location which was Atlanta. Of course, the project has had massive delays and nothing was being torn down in January 2025. This let the Texas Trophy Hunters Association, a subsidiary of SCI, to grab what would have been DSC’s slot.
Weather this year looks good. It will be cool – not cold – and dry according to the Weather Channel. It looks to be sunny on all days with highs reaching 60 degrees or so.
If you plan to be attend, please stop by the Membership Booth which is next to the entrance. The Complementary Spouse and I will be volunteering there all three mornings. We’d love to say hello.
