Trainers Symposium Lede Final

NRA's Education & Training Department (E&T) held the Inaugural Trainers’ Symposium in Atlanta, Georgia, at the 154th NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits. The Trainers’ Symposium was a two-day event dedicated to all our NRA Trainers to help them improve in their business acumen, training equipment, and get professional updates from NRA E&T and other firearms training bodies, such as Scouting America. With over 300 trainers attending to improve their skills, the Symposium was a tremendous success thanks to our presenters, attendees, and sponsors!

To those who attended and responded to our survey, we heard your feedback, and are actively implementing it into our planning for 2026.

E&T Staff is hard at work planning the 2026 Symposium, and we would love to hear from all of our trainers! The NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits is unique in that nearly the entire industry is present and open to the public--as compared to the SHOT Show, which is industry-exclusive. This is your opportunity to hear from a company you’ve never been able to have personal contact with. We're very interested to know what trainers and companies you’d most like to hear from.

We hope to see you in 2026 at the 155th NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Houston, Texas from April 17 - 19, 2026! Please reach out to me directly for all things symposium-related at [email protected], subject line: NRAAM Symposium ‘26.
