 What is NaNoCon?

NaNoCon is a gathering for all of us happy heathens living in the Bible Belt. We do it in Tennessee because Nashville is awesome, and because, well, here’s where it started!  There's typically not a lot here in the South for us non-religious types, so we figured we'd just have to start something ourselves.  

Our first event was on March 5, 2016, and over 400 people showed up from a 6 state region, so we decided to keep it going. After our sixth in-person event in 2025 was a resounding success, now we're gearing up for our 10-year anniversary in 2026!  

We call it the Nashville "Nones" Convention -- this refers to the answer people like us give on surveys when we're asked to select our religious preference, and we pick "None of the above."  Turns out there are actually quite a lot of us... one in four, maybe more.  In fact, according to the survey people at Pew Research, apparently we're one of the fastest-growing groups in the country.  So, there might as well be something like this, by us and for us, to help us get connected.  

What started out in 2016 as just a good idea among friends has since become a thing that has helped lots of people to connect, support each other’s journeys, and share experiences, ideas, and high fives. 

Check it out, spread the word, let's build something cool!
