Full description and what we offer
NW Hunt Expo fills a specific gap in the Pacific Northwest hunting calendar. Unlike multi-sport outdoor expos that mix hunting with fishing, camping, and general outdoor gear, this event zeros in exclusively on hunting—the gear, the outfitters, the conservation mission.
The expo runs March 5-7, 2026 at the Wingspan Event & Conference Center in Hillsboro, Oregon (801 NE 34th Ave, Hillsboro, OR 97124). It's centrally located—due west of downtown Portland in the heart of the Willamette Valley, directly across from Hillsboro Airport, and easily accessible by car, bike, or TriMet MAX public transit (Blue Line stops 9837 and 9838).
Hands-On Gear Experience Touch, test, and compare hunting equipment before buying. This isn't a catalog browse—you handle real gear from the brands you actually hunt with.
Meet Outfitters & Book Hunts Outfitters and guides work the floor. You can secure tags, ask questions about specific terrain, and plan your next big adventure with people who know the country. No phone call needed—sit down and plan in person.
$100k+ in Booth Giveaways No central drawing. Instead, major gear hauls are distributed directly from individual exhibitor booths. You must be present to enter, visit participating booths, and follow entry instructions at each one. Show up, engage with brands, and win.
Conservation Connection Leading conservation groups have booths on the floor. You can see directly how your hunting passion supports habitat and wildlife preservation, and learn how to get involved in protecting hunting heritage for the next generation. In 2025, the expo donated over $35,000 to conservation.
