SCI After Dark - The Entertainment Experience of the Year

Posted on: Aug 27, 2025

Raymie Grimm, Director of Convention and International Events for Safari Club International (SCI), shared some exciting details about this year’s highly anticipated SCI Convention in Nashville. Known as one of the premier gatherings in the hunting and conservation world, the event promises to be bigger and better than ever, blending world-class entertainment with unforgettable experiences that celebrate the outdoor lifestyle.

The convention will once again feature a lineup of incredible events and celebrations. Attendees can look forward to the traditional chapter banquets that bring members together, the always glamorous Beretta Gala, and the lively “Boots, Beer & Broadway” event that captures the spirit of Nashville. Another major highlight will be Night at the Ryman, where SCI will present its annual awards, hold live auctions, and treat guests to top-tier musical performances in one of country music’s most iconic venues. Each of these events blends camaraderie, entertainment, and philanthropy, ensuring that every night offers something memorable.

Raymie emphasized that the SCI Convention is more than just a gathering—it is the organization’s primary fundraiser, directly fueling SCI’s advocacy team that tirelessly defends hunting rights worldwide. Beyond the entertainment, the show floor itself is packed with attractions for every outdoor enthusiast. From fine firearms, custom knives, and luxury fashion, to African safaris, world-class fishing trips, and original wildlife art, the variety of exhibitors is unmatched. This year, SCI has also made plans to feature exhibitors more prominently, giving attendees even better opportunities to connect with outfitters, gear companies, and conservation partners.

Looking beyond Nashville, Raymie also shared that SCI will host smaller, more intimate shows in Dallas and Madrid later this year. These events will offer additional opportunities for members and supporters to gather, with entertainment lineups and exhibitor details to be released soon.

For those interested in attending, Raymie encouraged everyone to visit safariclub.org

Whether you’re there for the auctions, the live music, the banquets, or simply to connect with fellow hunters and conservationists, this year’s SCI Convention in Nashville is shaping up to be an unforgettable celebration of the outdoor lifestyle.
