NaNoCon is Tennessee’s favorite non-religious extravaganza, and we're back this July for an awesome full weekend of events. We're taking over the beautiful Lodge hotel -- it'll be all ours, just happy heathens hanging out by the lake. Come for the new ideas, stay for the community: the support, new friends, the laughs and high fives.

Your ticket gets you access to the whole weekend (details on the website), including events Friday afternoon, the Friday Night Special, the conference all day Saturday, the Candi Carpenter show Saturday night, and more, including closing events Sunday morning. Your Saturday lunch is included with all tickets (vegan options available).

The one extra ticketed event is the Saturday evening Dinner & Afterparty, on a terrace overlooking the lake. You'll be hanging out with the speakers and new secular friends, with great food and a cash bar! The catered BBQ dinner (with a lovely vegan option) is available in advance for only $38, here at checkout. Your advance reservation here is highly recommended, because full price is $48 at the event (if it's not already sold out, only 180 available).

If all that sounds good, the best time to get your tickets is now, because they go up every month the closer we get. Refunds are always available upon request, so there's no reason to hesitate, get yours while they're cheaper. See you in July!
