Remember the Alamo, stay-at-home dads and work-at-home fathers! After all, it’s not far from where HomeDadCon 2025 takes place in San Antonio, Texas, this autumn.
The annual conference for fathers whose full-time job is raising the kids runs from Sept. 11 to 13 at a hotel along the famous San Antonio Riverwalk. Attendees can expect to add to their parenting skills, support other dads and renew old friendships while making new ones.
Speakers and topics for the at-home dad conference have yet to be announced. Breakout topics at past conventions ranged from dealing with picky eaters to teaching children about sexual consent. Outreach or social activities are often part of the program. One already in the works for HomeDadCon 2025 is a 5K run.
The National At-Home Dad Network (NAHDN) organizes and operates this yearly event for stay- and work-at-home fathers who embrace parenting as their most important job. It allows them to network with other active fathers, learn from experts about various parenting and social issues, and take a brief respite from parenting duties. (DISCLOSURE: City Dads Group has been a long-time sponsor and partner with The National At-Home Dad Network for the at-home dads convention.)
