Gun Owners of America (GOA) is pleased to announce that registration is now open for the second annual Gun Owners Advocacy and Leadership Summit (GOALS), taking place on August 9–10, 2025, in Knoxville, Tennessee.
Following the success of last year’s inaugural event, which drew thousands of attendees and featured high-profile speakers, GOALS 2025 promises to be even bigger—bringing together gun rights advocates from across the country for a weekend of advocacy training, grassroots networking, and exclusive industry access.
Attendees will have the ability to lawfully carry their personal firearms and enjoy hands-on access to firearms and outdoor industry exhibitors, including exclusive previews of upcoming products from GOA’s partners.
Registration is now open at: www.gunowners.org/GOALS
Don’t wait—space is limited. Register now and join the nation’s leading grassroots 2A advocates in Knoxville this August.
Tim Macy, Chairman of GOA’s Board of Directors, added: “GOALS isn’t just a conference; it’s a movement. We’re training and empowering gun owners to be effective leaders, building a nationwide community of active, knowledgeable, and passionate law-abiding gun owners. We expect the government to respect the Second Amendment—and if they don’t, our members will take action in state capitols, D.C., and at the ballot box. We’re thrilled to open registration for what will be a landmark event in the fight to protect our constitutionally protected rights.”
Erich Pratt, GOA’s Senior Vice President, issued the following statement: “Our Second Amendment rights are under constant attack, and while recent political victories offer encouragement, the fight is far from over. GOALS is about energizing our grassroots, equipping activists with real tools for change, and uniting our community to push back harder than ever. Last year’s attendees left fired up—this year will be no different.”
Kailey Neiman, Director of Development and Marketing for GOA, issued the following statement:
“This isn’t just an event—it’s a rallying point for GOA members to connect, learn, and lead the charge on protecting and restoring the Second Amendment. With free admission for members and their families, a massive 120,000 square foot expo floor, and exclusive access to top-tier speakers and industry innovators, GOALS is our way of saying thank you to the backbone of our movement—our members—while equipping them to defend our rights like never before.”
