Walk the Talk America (WTTA) today announced its participation in the 2026 Gun Owners of America (GOA) GOALS Conference, taking place August 8 to 9 in Des Moines, Iowa.

WTTA will not have a dedicated booth at this year's event, but attendees can access WTTA educational materials and resources at the EOTECH booth, #2718, throughout the conference.

Founder and CEO Michael Sodini will also meet with manufacturers, industry leaders, and other stakeholders throughout the event to discuss opportunities for collaboration and encourage greater industry participation in WTTA's mission. These conversations are aimed at expanding partnerships that bring practical mental health and suicide prevention resources to firearm owners and the communities they serve.

WTTA continues to work alongside partners across the firearms industry to provide mental health and suicide prevention resources that support responsible firearm ownership without compromising Second Amendment rights. By making these materials available at one of the nation's premier firearms events, WTTA aims to advance conversations around mental health awareness, suicide prevention, and community engagement.

"We're grateful to EOTECH for helping us extend our reach at the GOALS Conference," said Michael Sodini, Founder and CEO of Walk the Talk America. "Partnerships like this put lifesaving resources directly into the hands of firearm owners, instructors, retailers, and industry professionals. I'll also be meeting with manufacturers and other industry partners throughout the event to discuss how we can make mental health resources more accessible across our community. Every conversation helps reduce stigma and reinforces that mental health is something we can address together."

Conference attendees are encouraged to stop by EOTECH Booth #2718 to pick up WTTA literature, learn about the organization's mission, and find resources to bring back to their own communities.
