ZCON and the ZCCA

The ZCON Mission

The Z Car Club Association has been working with chapter “host” clubs and enthusiasts volunteering to help put on the “International Z Car Convention” (aka ‘ZCON’) every year.

For 2025, the ZCCA will be hosting the event with volunteers from clubs all across North America.

The ZCCA and ZCON are not-for-profit endeavors intended to bring enthusiasts together and celebrate the legacy and heritage of ALL Z-models – from the 1970 Datsun 240z through the current Nissan Z.

2025 marks our 38th Annual ZCON event which is being held in Nashville, TN. The upcoming ZCON event will be celebrating the 55th Anniversary of the Z.

Our mission is to bring enthusiasts together, have some fun along the way and generate value to the region we visit. ZCON also strives to generate charitable proceeds for various causes.

ZCON & “Z Club Life”

ZCON is the International Z Car Convention – a 6-day schedule of events held each year in a different part of North America.

The event strives to deliver regional experiences, social and motorsports events to bring people together from all across the globe to celebrate the Z-car’s legacy in the fashion of “Z Club Life”.

The idea Z Club Life was inspired by Yutaka Katayama’s “Love Cars, Love People, Love Life” mantra…and is embodied in the soul of the ZCON event.

The experience is designed to be personal, offering a tight schedule for those who want to absorb what’s on the menu…or pick and choose for those who want to do their own thing.

We believe this makes ZCON unique catering to a variety of enthusiasts – the adventurer/wanderer, the car-show or motorsports enthusiast, the social/party goer…or those who want to kick back by the pool with friends.

The ZCON committee is comprised of volunteers who plan and work to host an event with 25+ sponsors and ~1000+ Z-Car Enthusiasts each year.

Experiences are catered to provide options and highlight the uniqueness of each region that calls ZCON its “home” for a given year.
