The American Humanist Association, the oldest and largest humanist organization in the United States, has held an annual conference since its founding in 1941 so that humanists, atheists, and freethinkers can gather together for a weekend of informative lectures, networking, and fun activities. The year 2022 will be the 81st annual conference of the American Humanist Association.
Since travel and gathering in large groups are still difficult for many, this year the conference will be entirely virtual. You can experience all of our exciting speakers and awardees from the comfort—and safety—of your own home.
