HNS2023 Conference in San Antonio, TX
We are overwhelmed by the resounding success of the HNSNA North American conference! Attendees enjoyed a wide array of quality panels, presentations, cozy chats, and workshops--all live sessions that featured plenty of real-time interaction.
And because networking and socializing with fellow historical fiction lovers is such a huge part of any HNSNA conference, we were thrilled by how attendees kept that spirit alive with conversation rooms, meet & greets, and other social events. Attendees also participated in pitch sessions with our stellar lineup of agents and editors, and polished their writing with an enthusiastic group of mentors in the Blue Pencil Café sessions.

2025 Conference was held in Las Vegas, Nevada
In 2025, the HNSNA conference was our first-ever hybrid (in-person and virtual) event held in Las Vegas from June 26–28, 2025. Attendees gathered for three days of engaging panels, workshops, and networking with fellow historical novelists, readers, and publishing professionals.
Las Vegas is one of the most dynamic conference destinations in the U.S., renowned for its world-class hospitality, accessibility, and entertainment.
The conference hotel, located right on the Strip, allowed guests to easily explore the city’s iconic attractions — from dazzling shows and fine dining to cultural highlights such as the Neon Museum, the Mob Museum, and nearby Red Rock Canyon for those seeking desert beauty. Whether strolling through themed resorts, enjoying live performances, or connecting at conference events, attendees experienced both the excitement of Las Vegas and the inspiration of our vibrant HNS community.
