QDMA 9th Annual National Convention & Whitetail Expo
July 23 – 26, 2009
Kentucky International Convention Center
Louisville, Kentucky
The QDMA National Convention is blazing a new trail into the heart of Whitetail Country! This year the Convention moves to Louisville, Kentucky on the banks of the Ohio River, a stone’s throw from Indiana, Ohio and Illinois. The Kentucky International Convention Center in downtown Louisville provides growing room for the biggest and best QDMA National Convention ever held. If you’ve attended the National Convention before, you can expect the same phenomenal lineup of educational events and evening entertainment, only bigger!
Familiar faces as well as new speakers fill out the lineup at the annual Think Tank and Friday seminars. The Whitetail Expo floor show – the only deer and habitat management show in the nation – returns with more exhibitors than ever before. Fantastic auction items at the Hunt Auction Luncheon and Saturday’s Grand Banquet keep you entertained all weekend.
Come early, bring the entire family and enjoy all that Louisville has to offer!
