Find Your Tribe: 19th Annual At-Home Dad Convention

July 29, 2014 by Lance Somerfeld

Stay-At-Home Dad? Work-At-Home Dad? Active-At-Home Dad (made that one up) . . . join us at the 19th Annual At-Home Dad Convention in Denver, Colorado to connect with and learn from some of the best dads around the country.

Connect: First and foremost, this is a great weekend to bond with other dads that are in your shoes whether they are brand-new dads with an infant at home or seasoned veterans that have been home with their kids for 10+ years.
Learn: Through informal conversations, age-based workshops, and expert panels, this is the weekend to take parenthood to the next level. Many of these guys have been through it all and love sharing what worked and what didn’t work as they navigated everything from playdates to first dates.
Re-energize: Being a dad can be tough and this weekend helps you remember why you are so committed to your kids in the first place.

The At-Home Dad Convention officially starts midday on Friday, September 19, but the festivities unofficially begin on Thursday, September 18 with a community service project sponsored by Huggies during the day and a Dads Night Out at the Coors Field Roof Deck (Colorado Rockies vs. Arizona Diamondbacks) sponsored by Denver Dads Group.

Still not convinced, read what these guys said after attending prior conventions:
Philly Dads Group Co-Organizer Chris Bernholdt:
“Being around your peers in any field will give you that sense of self worth. You see that you aren’t the only one dealing with a kid who won’t eat or how your teenage daughter won’t talk to you. I never laughed so much in my life and its end, I cried. In fact, I always do cry at the end even though I know it is coming. I didn’t want this feeling of acceptance to end. I found my people all in one place, no longer scattered but uniformly united by fatherhood.” Read More
Denver Dads Group Organizer Chris VanDijk:
“Not knowing what to expect, I was surprised to find the fathers who attended had created an incubator for ideas on parenting, an advocacy group for fathers. And not just fathers who are primary care givers – all fathers.” Read More
NYC Dads Group Organizer Lance Somerfeld:
“As I reflect on my overall weekend, the only thing I don’t understand is why more dads don’t come to this convention when it had been meticulously planned out at a top-notch venue, with cutting edge guest speakers, and relevant small-group discussion topics….add in some awesome steaks, a few dirt-cheap beers, great college sports on TV, the camaraderie of a brotherhood of dads…and leaving recharged to race home to your family so you can be a better father and husband!” Read More

Note: City Dads Group is proud to be a sponsor of this year’s At-Home Dad Convention.
