Awesome! Best show since 2010 in my humble opinion. That 2010 show when Pres. George W Bush Jnr. walked the floor was a very good show. I believe this one was even better. I would love to know factual numbers on attendance? We nailed it. Christian and I am basically booked out to 2026 with the first bookings for 2027 trickling in Uganda is on fire! South Africa blew my mind away. DSC is not a South African market place and SCI was not for the past ten years. That changed. I sold everything we had left for this year and booked good for 2025. Just to be clear. If I say I booked hunts it was taking money at the show, so a confirmed booking. Our quality Buffalo hunts in South Africa (in animal quality and hunting experience) and it shows in the amount of bookings we are getting directly from the show floor every year. In saying it there was the usual "compadres" that complained but by far the most comments I heard was overwhelmingly positive. If someone complains about SCI 2024 they should not be present in that market place. The feet were there, and they were buying. We experienced an unprecedented volume in NEW sales and serious inquiries, from people that attended for the first time. This confirms to me that the venue change to Nashville was 110% worth it. I hope, trust and pray that all of you have a safe and memorable year friends! Safari Njema!

You were busy every time I walked by. Glad it went well. I was told official numbers on Friday night. I’d hate to try and quote them. I can say that they were way up. Personally , I thought Saturday was a lot slower than I expected. This was the most fun I have had at the show . I personally didn’t spend as much as I have at some shows. However, coming to Nashville I had already booked several hunts in 24 and 25. Many outfitters I spoke with were selling into 25 and beyond . | |||

Glad you “sold out”, I think it was a fantastic show, other outfitter friends told me the same…booked solid for this year and 2025. Now booking for 2026 and a couple were booking further out than that. There were lots of people on the floor and saw and talked to several people from the Dallas area that were there specifically to book hunts for next year, they weren’t planning on going to Atlanta next January.

I chatted with many people that told me this was their first SCI Convention. All said they would be back next year!
