Freedom From Religion Foundation 2026 National Convention

Join hundreds of freethinkers, atheists, agnostics, humanists, skeptics, and secular advocates from across the country at the 49th Annual Freedom From Religion Foundation National Convention, taking place October 15–18, 2026, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Each year, the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) brings together an outstanding lineup of authors, scientists, educators, legal experts, activists, and public figures to discuss the issues shaping church-state separation, secular advocacy, free expression, science education, and religious freedom. The convention offers a unique opportunity to learn from nationally recognized speakers while connecting with people who share a commitment to reason, critical thinking, and constitutional freedoms.

The weekend includes keynote presentations, panel discussions, early-bird workshops, legal and legislative updates, networking opportunities, book sales, social gatherings, and the annual NonPrayer Breakfast. Whether you’re a longtime FFRF member or simply interested in secular issues, the convention offers an informative and welcoming environment for anyone who values evidence-based thinking and the separation of religion and government.

Hosted in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the 2026 convention provides attendees with the opportunity to experience one of the nation’s premier gatherings for the secular community while exploring a vibrant city known for its museums, lakefront, historic neighborhoods, and thriving food scene.

If you’re passionate about defending church-state separation, promoting secular values, or meeting others who share your commitment to reason and critical inquiry, the Freedom From Religion Foundation National Convention is an event you won’t want to miss.
