The Memphis Renasant Convention Center, with over 100,000 square feet of column-free exhibit space, offers the ideal venue for showcasing the latest products, gear, and innovations ahead of the upcoming 2025 hunting season. The Expo is also taking place in conjunction with the 2025 Ducks Unlimited Leadership Conference, welcoming DU staff and volunteer leaders from across the country, who play a vital role in supporting over 4,500 fundraising events held annually throughout the country. For exhibitors and sponsors, DUX provides the perfect breeding ground to showcase their products to the world’s leading conservation fundraising team and outdoor enthusiasts.
