More than 70,000 people and 800-plus exhibitors are expected in Louisville May 19-22 for the 145th National Rifle Association annual meeting and trade show.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is scheduled to speak during the convention. The NRA annual event was last held in Louisville in 2008, also a presidential year in which some major candidates appeared at the convention.
The politically active organization's event is expected to generate about 23,000 hotel room nights and have an economic impact of $10 million to $15 million, according to the Louisville Convention & Visitors Bureau.
This year's event this year will have activities at the Kentucky Exposition Center, the KFC Yum! Center, and the Kentucky International Convention Center as well as on the Riverfront Plaza/Belvedere and at Waterfront Park. Some of the activities are closed to the public, but some tickets are available for a few of the activities, with ticket information available on the NRA website at www.nraam.org.
Leading firearm manufacturers will display the industry's latest products at the trade show that opens at the exposition center on May 20 at 9 a.m. All the major firearm companies plan exhibits, and displays will feature the latest in hunting gear, knives, wildlife art, shooting accessories, specialty and antique firearms, and ATVs, the association said. The displays will fill more than 10 acres of convention space.
A main attraction at the convention will be The Leadership Forum presented by Townhall Media and Bearing Arms. It will be on May 20 at 12:30 p.m. at Freedom Hall.
According to the NRA, confirmed speakers thus far include Trump, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, Gov. Matt Bevin of Kentucky, Sen.
