The 146th National Rifle Association (NRA) Annual Meetings and Exhibits will be held at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA, from April 27-30, 2017. This four-day event will be attended by tens of thousands of patriots and features more than 15 acres of the most spectacular displays of firearms, and shooting and hunting accessories in the world. For more information, including event tickets, visit www.nraam.org.

Only approved members of U.S. news media organizations will receive credentials and be allowed to cover the convention. Due to resource limitations, foreign media will not be credentialed.

Television crews and still photographers should bring necessary equipment and lenses (sports lenses) to cover events from platforms at distances more than 200 feet from the stage.

The NRA Concert with NRA Life Members Hank Williams Jr. and special guest Lee Brice will be open only to a very limited number of artist management approved press.
