The National Taxidermists Association is pleased to announce our 48th annual Convention, Competition, & Trade Show. This three-day event will be held at the Best Western Plus Ramkota Hotel in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The event will draw hundreds of taxidermists from all across the United States and beyond. Attendees will have the opportunity to see the latest taxidermy equipment and products, and speak with suppliers one-on-one to discuss specific products or make suggestions for new products. Members can also attend educational seminars demonstrating techniques used by those who are recognized as being the best in the profession. A wide range of seminars are planned with topics for everyone. The NTA also hosts our annual taxidermy competition in conjunction with the convention, where members may enter their artistic creations and compete for awards and honors.
