THE 10TH ANNUAL / DALLAS, TX / SEPT 25, 2026

Don't wait for permission to be heard.

Legacy media won’t tell your story. Big tech buries it. AMM-Con is the one-day workshop where pro-2A creators learn to reach people directly and build the alternative.

SIGN-ON

Every other media conference treats your Second Amendment views as the thing to hide.

Here, they’re the whole point. And you finally learn how to be heard.

It started in 2017, when journalist Gail Pepin was frozen out of a podcasting conference for the beat she covered. She built her own room instead. A decade later the Second Amendment Foundation backs it, and it opens the Gun Rights Policy Conference each year.

Newsroom veteran or first-timer with a phone, there’s a seat for you. Bring your convictions. Leave with a playbook.
