Dallas Safari Club has confirmed that the annual convention will remain in Atlanta for 2027 before returning to Texas in 2028. The 2028 convention is scheduled for January 27–30 in Houston.
Attendees should use Building C as their primary destination when planning transportation and locating the exhibition floor. The Georgia World Congress Center is a substantial convention complex, making it worthwhile to review the official floorplan and entrance information before arrival.
The Dallas Safari Club Convention is one of the established annual gatherings of the international hunting community. It brings together hunters, outfitters, conservation professionals, sporting-equipment manufacturers, wildlife artists, and organizations involved in the responsible management of wildlife.
For experienced sportsmen, its significance extends beyond the opportunity to discuss future hunts. The convention provides direct access to people working in hunting destinations around the world, many of whom possess specialized knowledge of local regulations, wildlife populations, conservation programs, and field conditions.
Dallas Safari Club’s stated mission centers on wildlife conservation through public engagement, education, and advocacy for well-regulated hunting and sustainable use.
That mission is reflected in its fundraising activities and conservation partnerships. DSC supports projects involving habitat management, wildlife conservation, education, and the continuation of responsible hunting traditions.
The convention serves both purposes: a substantial international sporting exhibition and an important fundraising gathering for the wider hunting and conservation community.
Dallas Safari Club is promoting more than 1,000 exhibits for its 2027 convention. The exhibition is expected to represent a broad cross-section of the global hunting industry, from established international outfitters to equipment manufacturers and wildlife conservation organizations.
For attendees, the principal advantage is the ability to conduct meaningful conversations in person.
International hunting outfitters form an important part of the convention.
Attendees can explore hunting opportunities across Africa, North America, Europe, Asia, and other established regions, speaking directly with representatives about species, hunting areas, field conditions, seasonal timing, and available programs.
For serious sportsmen considering a demanding international pursuit, these conversations are particularly valuable.
A Cape buffalo safari in southern Africa presents entirely different considerations from a high-altitude sheep hunt in Central Asia. Trophy expectations, physical requirements, hunting methods, country regulations, and travel arrangements all deserve careful examination.
The convention creates an opportunity to evaluate these distinctions before making important commitments.
The sporting expo also features manufacturers and suppliers serving the hunting industry.
DSC identifies firearms, optics, field equipment, wildlife art, taxidermy, and related products among the exhibition categories.
Attendees considering new equipment can speak directly with manufacturers, compare products, and assess their suitability for particular hunting environments.
Professional services and specialist exhibitors add another dimension to the event, helping visitors better understand the preparation involved in international hunting travel.
Conservation remains central to DSC’s identity.
The convention brings together organizations and individuals involved in sustainable wildlife use, habitat protection, scientific management, and hunting advocacy.
These exchanges help connect the practical realities of wildlife conservation with the hunters, organizations, and communities supporting that work.
Visitors interested in DSC’s conservation activities should review the organization’s published programs and the final convention schedule for relevant presentations and special events.
Beyond the exhibition floor, DSC organizes evening banquets, fundraising auctions, awards presentations, and member gatherings.
These events provide additional opportunities to participate in the convention’s conservation mission and meet members of the international sporting community.
Admission to ticketed functions should be arranged separately as required. The official DSC banquet information provides event details and registration options.
Registration for the 2027 DSC Convention & Sporting Expo is open through Dallas Safari Club’s official registration system.

The DSC Convention’s evening programs are an important part of the organization’s annual fundraising efforts.
Through banquets, auctions, and recognition programs, DSC brings together supporters of wildlife conservation, hunting education, and responsible hunting advocacy.
The confirmed 2027 evening programs include:
Thursday, January 7 — Conservation Night
The Thursday Evening Banquet & Auction focuses on conservation achievements and the organizations and individuals contributing to wildlife stewardship. DSC has scheduled the event at the Signia by Hilton Atlanta.
Friday, January 8 — Education Night
Friday’s banquet emphasizes hunting education, youth participation, and programs supporting future generations of responsible sportsmen and conservationists.
Saturday, January 9 — Advocacy Night
The Saturday Evening Banquet & Auction recognizes contributions to hunting advocacy, conservation, and sporting heritage.
Additional scheduled events include the Friday Ladies Luncheon & Auction and Saturday Life Member Appreciation Breakfast.
The auctions contribute to DSC’s broader fundraising activities, with proceeds supporting its conservation, education, and advocacy mission.
Sportsmen interested in specific auction offerings should examine the official listings when available. Auction catalogs, speakers, and program details may be updated before January.
See the 2027 DSC banquets and auctions information for registration and current details.
Attendees traveling to Atlanta should arrange accommodations early, particularly those planning to participate in evening events or spend multiple days on the exhibition floor.
Dallas Safari Club has identified two connected hotel options for the 2027 convention:
Both provide convenient access to the convention facilities and are involved in hosting official DSC functions.
Hotel reservations are open through Connections Housing, DSC’s authorized housing reservation provider.
DSC specifically cautions attendees against unofficial housing solicitations. Unaffiliated reservation companies may advertise convention rooms without providing confirmed or protected reservations.
The safest approach is to begin with the official DSC hotel reservations page and follow its authorized reservation links.
The Georgia World Congress Center is in downtown Atlanta, near Centennial Olympic Park.
Travelers arriving through Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport should allow adequate time for airport transfers and downtown transportation.
Driving attendees should review convention-center parking information and identify the most practical access point for Building C.
For visitors with several appointments, staying within walking distance of the exhibition facility may simplify the daily schedule considerably.
A little advance planning is especially valuable when coordinating show-floor meetings with evening banquets or other functions.
The Hunting Consortium anticipates participating in the 2027 DSC Convention as an exhibitor, subject to final confirmation. Booth location and attending representatives have not yet been announced.
For decades, The Hunting Consortium has helped serious sportsmen identify and pursue international hunting opportunities requiring experienced judgment, dependable outfitters, and careful logistical preparation.
Its work spans established African hunting destinations, demanding Asian hunting regions, and the specialized travel planning that international pursuits often require.
The convention provides a natural setting for conversations about destination suitability, trophy expectations, and the practical decisions that shape a successful hunt.
Participation details will be included when confirmed.
The 2027 DSC Convention & Sporting Expo takes place Thursday, January 7, through Sunday, January 10, 2027.
The convention will be held at the Georgia World Congress Center, Building C, in Atlanta, Georgia.

DSC identifies the Signia by Hilton Atlanta and Omni Atlanta Hotel at Centennial Park as connected convention hotels. Reservations should be made through the official DSC housing program managed by Connections Housing.

The Dallas Safari Club Convention remains an important meeting point for the international hunting community, bringing together sporting opportunities, industry expertise, and meaningful support for wildlife conservation.
