History, Hospitality and Gamebird Industry Insight Await in the Lowcountry...
The North American Gamebird Association invites you to join fellow gamebird producers, hunting preserve operators and industry professionals for the 2026 NAGA Convention, set for Feb. 2–4 in Charleston, South Carolina.
Charleston is more than just a destination – it's an experience steeped in history, charm and southern hospitality. Founded in 1670, the port city is famous for its cobblestone streets, horse-drawn carriages and pastel-colored antebellum homes, especially in the elegant French Quarter and Battery districts. The city’s rich culture and coastal allure make it the perfect setting for three days of learning, networking and business-building.
The 2026 convention will be held at the Hyatt Place/Hyatt House in Charleston’s Historic District, putting attendees within walking distance of notable landmarks like the Battery promenade, Waterfront Park and the historic City Market. Beyond the picturesque views and lively atmosphere, attendees can expect a powerful lineup of educational sessions and speaker panels designed to address the most pressing issues in the gamebird industry.
From disease prevention and biosecurity to customer engagement and hunting preserve management, the NAGA Convention is tailored to meet the needs of today’s gamebird producers and hunting preserve/club operators. Attendees will have the chance to connect directly with peers, vendors and thought leaders in a welcoming environment that’s both productive and personal.
“This isn’t just another convention,” said Sarah Pope, NAGA vice president and event organizer. “It’s where real conversations happen, where ideas are exchanged and where relationships are built that support the success of our members and the future of our industry.”
Whether you’re a seasoned producer or just getting started, the NAGA Convention is a must-attend event that will leave you energized and informed.
Don’t miss this opportunity to make meaningful connections, explore innovative solutions and enjoy the beauty and culture of Charleston. We’ll see you in South Carolina!
