A Night Vision Event Unlike Any Other
Two Nights of Training and Gamified Competition with Awesome Gear Prizes
Symposium is part competition, part class, and part experience. Through a combination of teaching and selected, night-vision specific competition, you’ll learn how to best utilize your gear and employ your night vision. Don’t think USPSA stages. Although competitive elements are borrowed, we’ve designed some of the most challenging and meaningful night time tasks and shooting to get you thinking about skills and gear in a new way.
Experience the Cutting Edge in Night Vision and Thermal Solutions in a Scenario Based Training Environment
Our cadre will guide you through two nights of night vision related scenario-based training and experiences all aimed at working and improving your capabilities with your gear. But we’ll also provide access to cutting edge night vision and thermal gear so you can experience first hand how different technologies and gear transfer directly to advantages in the field. Take the knowledge home and improve your capabilities for the next adventure.
Win Dual Tube Night Vision and Other Great Gear
We've collected tons of great gear for the prize pool, and everyone who attends goes home with relevant, night time related gear and swag. But as in past years, there's a competitive prize pool and also a separate GRAND PRIZE pool that anyone can win (but the top competitors get a very slight advantage in) featuring new white phosphor dual tube night vision, and thermal. With a maximum attendance of fourteen attendees, you've got a fantastic chance of winning new night vision, even on top of all the awesome training, comradery, and other prizes.

Attendee Benefits
Attendees of the Nocturnality Symposium will receive quality instruction and training in the operation and use of their existing night vision equipment, while also benefitting from the ability to utilize other high end equipment matched to scenario-based training to increase their depth of experience across the night vision spectrum. In particular, we want to expose attendees to scenario-based training which isn’t found in other night vision courses which are designed to push the boundaries of your skills and equipment. We will introduce complex challenges with regards to night vision operation based on real-world environments we have observed over years of field use, work with law enforcement, and professional training.
In addition to training, attendees will engage in supervised, friendly competition for the chance at prize packages from sponsoring partners. All attendees will receive prizes and swag regardless of performance – though we believe that competition breeds excellence in the training circuit, there will be an emphasis put also on having fun!
