The American Humanist Association’s annual conference, AHACON24: The Future is Humanist, is happening this weekend, and it’s shaping up to be one of our most exciting conferences yet! With a jam-packed schedule of inspiring sessions and big announcements, this year’s conference is set to push humanism forward in bold new ways.
This is also the first conference led by AHA’s new President, Candace Gorham, and new Executive Director, Fish Stark, who couldn’t be more excited to lead us into a humanist future. Fish is planning on unveiling a bold initiative for the American Humanist Association at AHACON24. The big reveal? A brand-new program that will take on Project 2025 and make a real impact in fighting White Christian Nationalism as we head toward November. Fish is fired up about one of the most important initiatives of our time, and he’s ready to share all the details during a meet and greet on Saturday night.
This session is the perfect chance to get to know Fish, hear his vision for the future of the AHA, and ask questions or just listen in. Plus, with all the networking opportunities over the weekend, there’s even a chance for one-on-one time with him.
The weekend will also spotlight some incredible humanists, including Ted Chiang, who will be accepting the Inquiry and Innovation Award, and Karen Hao, who’s being honored with the Humanist Media Award. Their remarks are exclusive to the conference, so don’t miss your chance to hear from these thought leaders. Attendees will also celebrate notable figures like journalist Amy Goodman and other powerful voices in the humanist movement.
AHACON24, themed “The Future is Humanist: Shaping Tomorrow Together,” takes place September 14-15, 2024, and will feature sessions on everything from social justice to science and countering Christian Nationalism. It’s all happening virtually, so you can join from anywhere.
Make sure to be part of this exciting conference, meet fellow humanists, and help shape the future of the movement!
