The At-Home Dad Convention (And My Pledge to You)

Posted on 23. Sep, 2010 by Brian Reid in convention

Beginning a week from tomorrow, at-home dads from across the country (and, perhaps, a handful of international dads) will gather in Omaha, Nebraska for the annual At-Home Dad Convention. I won’t go on at length about why the convention is special; if you’ve read this blog for any time at all, you know my feeling on the subject. Needless to say, my feelings haven’t changed.

The full schedule and program is up now on the website. I have a speaking slot, in which I will attempt to take a pile of numbers on at-home dad stats and make it compelling. And I’m the weak link; the rest of the program looks fantastic.

Of course, unless you’re within a few hours of Omaha, it’s a bit late to sway you with promises of a good time. So I’ll put an open question out there: if you’re not going, what can I do to bring the event to you? Twitter up a storm? Blog posts? Podcasts? YouTube video? You name it, and I’ll try to make it happen.

AND … in celebration of the convention, I pledge to post every weekday between now and the convention. It’s been a zany fall, but there’s a lot I need to get out there between now and Oct. 2. So keep clicking over here. And I’ll see (some of you) in Omaha.

[IMPORTANT NOTE IN THE COMMENTS: Phil, one of the organizers, reminds that it's not too late to register. So don't take this as discouragement if you're on the fence.]
