QDMA Wraps Up Successful Convention
BOGART, GEORGIA - The Quality Deer Management Association's Ninth Annual National Convention and Whitetail Expo concluded Sunday with a host of camo-clad convention-goers flooding the expo hall. Louisville proved to be the perfect location for this year's event, which was well attended and highly praised by convention-goers.
In the words of Dan Perez of Whitetail Properties, "We just returned from the QDMA National Convention, and all I can say is bravo! As you know, we are in the land sales business; however, judging from the interest and sheer number of people at our booth, you would think we were offering free hunts. We stayed busy the whole time. In fact, the flow of traffic throughout the exhibit hall was outstanding! The QDMA staff handled every event and every aspect of the convention as smoothly and as professionally as I have ever witnessed. We are already looking forward to next year's QDMA Convention."
Each year QDMA brings together the most well-respected biologists and white-tailed deer specialists, industry celebrities, country music entertainers, and in-demand exhibitors who make the National Convention a must-see event for the dedicated attendees. The 9th Annual National Convention was a great success for the QDMA as well as a step forward in the growth of the organization and the realization of the mission of better deer and better deer hunting.
The four-day event was packed with intense research sessions geared toward committed land managers and hunters, informative seminars for outdoor enthusiasts, fun-filled evenings with live entertainment and exciting auctions, an awards ceremony to recognize committed individuals, top-notch taxidermy, and a Whitetail Expo with 135 vendors offering the newest and best in wildlife management gear.
"This year's event was a great success for the QDMA Team. Once again, it set the bar for future events. Each year the event allows us to entertain and educate our members and also to introduce new friends to the QDM philosophy. Additionally, we provide the nation's best Whitetail Expo dedicated to the deer hunter and manager. We would like to thank all who supported QDMA with their attendance. We hope that they will help spread the word about next year's event, which will be back in Louisville; the planning has already begun!" said Randy Bowden, QDMA's Director of Marketing and Corporate Relations.
