## Resource

CONVENTION SPONSORS : Bird Dog Whiskey and Cocktails , Benelli , & Raymond James . The Ducks Unlimited National Convention is more than a meeting — it’s a celebration of people, conservation, and one of the greatest fundraising achievements in conservation history. In this episode, host Jimbo Robinson is joined by DU President Bob Spoerl , National Convention Chair Jared Brown , and Managing Director of National Conferences Pattie Kempka for a full preview of the 2026 Ducks Unlimited National Convention in Tampa, Florida . From opening night at the Florida Aquarium to the culmination of DU’s historic $3‑billion conservation campaign , this conversation breaks down why the national convention is unlike any DU event at the state or local level. The group walks listeners through the full week — fishing tournaments, conservation tours, business sessions, recognition events, keynote speakers, and the energy that comes with gathering more than a thousand committed DU volunteers and supporters in one place. Whether you’re a longtime volunteer, a first‑time convention attendee, or someone who has supported DU in any way over the past few years, come hear why Tampa is the place to be!
