At-Home Dads From Across the Country to Gather in Phoenix for HomeDadCon 2022

Fathers attend “Professional Development for Professional Dads” at the 26th Annual At-Home Dads Convention

Phoenix, AZ – The National At-Home Dad Network (TNAHDN) is proud to present HomeDadCon 2022 - the 26th Annual At-Home Dads Convention - taking place September 29th through October 1st, in Phoenix, AZ. Local dads from Phoenix City Dads, along with members of TNAHDN from across the country have volunteered hundreds of hours organizing this year’s event. Previous convention cities included Orlando, Portland, Raleigh, Denver, Washington D.C., Kansas City, Minneapolis, and Chicago.

HomeDadCon is a fatherhood focused parenting convention, covering a wide range of topics and issues that matter to dads and families. Our speakers and panels include parenting experts, researchers, authors, and businesses who understand and support our mission: 

We empower at-home dads and champion a culture that recognizes them as capable and competent parents.

Attendees include new fathers and dads who have been to numerous HomeDadCon events. All dads are welcome; you need not be a full time stay at-home dad to benefit from HomeDadCon. We are a community of dads from the local area, all across the country, and some even from overseas. Below are some of their inspiring words:

“As someone who made the decision to treat my role as the primary caregiver in our family as my job, nothing helped me build skills, confidence, pride, and a community like HomeDadCon. Every year it's been the best thing I do for myself to thrive in that role. Being in a room with a hundred dads that do what you do can't help but inspire you to go home a better dad.”

Chris Routly, Past President, TNAHDN, father of two

“It changed my life. Made me proud to own what I do and introduced me to people I consider my closest friends.”

-Matt Strain, Secretary, TNAHDN, father of two

“10 years ago I became a stay-at-home dad. In the first year, I learned about and participated in The National At-Home Dad Network’s annual convention, now known as HomeDadCon. The community, the emotional support, and the education was amazing. 

"HomeDadCon is unlike any other convention for parenting that you can find. It's men supporting men being primary caregivers, while giving them the tools to be better in their role.”

- Jonathan Heisey-Grove, President, TNAHDN, father of two

Our official hotel and event venue is the Residence Inn By Marriott-Phoenix Downtown. The Residence Inn is located in the heart of downtown, with free breakfasts, full kitchens in room and a Starbucks on site! 

Registration for HomeDadCon is now open at HomeDadCon.org.

Nothing is more empowering than being able to live and love openly, authentically, and safely. On this Trans Day of Visibility, we recognize the victories won by the trans community, we honor the transgender people needlessly taken from us, and ask everyone to recommit energies in the fight for full equality and equity. Trans folx continue to face an unacceptable epidemic of violence and harmful discrimination in access to health care, employment, housing, and so much more. Trans people are our neighbors, our family, our friends, our children, and our fellow dads. They deserve to live with dignity and to be treated fairly in every part of life. We stand in solidarity with the transgender community as we both celebrate progress and continue our long march toward liberation, peace, and equality.

The National At-Home Dad Network is partnered with the Trans Youth Equality Foundation for our RAD! (Really Accepting Dads) campaign. Get your RAD! shirt to show your support. 100% of the proceeds go to support Trans Youth Equality Foundation and their efforts to support transgender youth and their families.
