The 3rd Annual North American Gamebird Association's Hunting Club Conference will kick off in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, in just two weeks. The conference was created to exchange education and networking between bird hunting preserves, gamebird producers and, of course, NAGA itself.
The conference has tremendous sponsorship support that’s kept the event's costs affordable for hunting clubs of all shapes and sizes. The 2024 conference shattered last year's record-setting sponsorship support, headlined again by the gun industry. NSSF-The Firearm Industry Trade Association is back for the third year as the Title Sponsor.
Romeo Bravo Software is also back again as the event's platinum sponsor and will host the Tuesday night banquet.
For the third year, our diamond sponsors are Elkhorn Farms & Hatchery (Tuesday lunch) and Flying B Ranch (raffle/auction). York Ag and Wild Wings of Oneka are first-time Diamond Sponsors and are underwriting the A.V. service for the conference and the Wednesday lunch, respectively.
O.F. Mossberg & Sons became our first gun company sponsor with their donation of the Early Bird shotgun. York Ag and an anonymous donor provided the raffle guns for this year's event.
Our Silver Sponsors include returning Evening Hospitality Hosts, Beavers Game Farm and MacFarlane Pheasants. Double Barrell Game Farm, K Systems, Martz’s Game Farm and Milford Hills are sponsoring the four breaks during the conference.
Black Creek Quail Farm, Kent Nutrition and Rocky Mountain Roosters round out our sponsorships at the Bronze Level.
“We’re floored by the support we’ve received for this year's meeting," noted Conference Chairman Dan Barngrover of Baxter Springs, Kansas – Longtail Farms. “We couldn’t do it without these folks and want them all to know how much we appreciate their help!”
Opportunities to support the 2024 Hunting Club Conference remain. Bronze Level sponsorships are still available at $500 each. Conference Auction Chairman Rick Kuhl Jr. is still looking for silent and live auction items for the Tuesday night banquet. Contact NAGA Executive Director Rob Sexton at Rob@NorthAmericanGamebird.com if you’re interested.
Although time is growing short, you can still register or sign up as a vendor. Information on all aspects of the conference can be found at NorthAmericanGamebird.com/2024-hunting-club-conference/event-details.
