I know we have our AH get together thread that is going to be great with
@Rare Breed handling all the planning but I wanted to start another thread specific to the SCI Convention it self. This is an opportunity to ask questions or pose a complaint about convention for all of us to kick around.
Nashville has become the home of the incredible SCI Convention and it will be there for the foreseeable future. Since moving from Nevada every metric is up in attendance, total dollars raised, etc. This coming year looks to be another great one.
I serve on some SCI committees so I'll be there all week. I'll attend some but not all of the evening banquets. I certainly won't miss the finale on Saturday night featuring Little Big Town! I encourage everyone to attend at least one banquet night if for no other reason than to see how well SCI pulls off these big events. It is an incredible professional production and each night is different. Celebrities like Donald Trump Jr. are always in attendance.
I'll mention some unfortunate downsides to Convention. You need to book hotels very early to get the ones adjacent to the beautiful Music City Center and those are expensive. I know because I'm there for a week! Other hotels a bit further away are still available but don't delay! It is expensive to attend and you must be a member. This is true but it is the main fundraiser for SCI that carries the mission all year long fighting for hunters rights and keeping wild places wild. So when you buy your 4 Day pass or a ticket to an evening event it is all going to the mission we all support.
There is simply nothing like the SCI Convention and I hope you will join me and raise a glass to conservation!
