What is SkeptiCamp?
Skepticamp is a one-day event of short talks, celebrating the incredible work and enthusiasm of the skeptical community. Anyone can apply to present, whether you want to share your own work or highlight interesting ideas and research that you think your fellow Skeptics will enjoy. You don’t need to be a published author, famous podcaster or professional communicator to get involved, SkeptiCamp is about providing an open and accessible platform for as many members of the Skeptic community as possible to share their ideas, collaborate, and discuss the topics they’re passionate about. All you need is a topic you want to talk about for 10 minutes to a friendly audience of like-minded skeptics. Even if you haven’t spoken on stage before, don’t worry, many people have made their public speaking debut at SkeptiCamp, we’re all here to share ideas, have fun, and make friends.
If you’d like a reminder of the speakers and content for previous SkeptiCamp events, you can watch all the talks here.
When & Where
SkeptiCamp will occur on Friday, October 24th, at the Mercure Piccadilly Hotel in Manchester. We will begin late morning, so there’s plenty of time to travel to the event. There will be a break for lunch, and then we’ll continue through to the late afternoon, giving you just enough time to change into your party clothes before the Friday evening festivities.
Tickets & Pricing
Thanks to the generous support of the QED organisers, SkeptiCamp will be free for everyone to attend, regardless of whether you’re planning to attend QED. There’s no need to book a ticket – you’re free to wander in and out of the event throughout the day.
All of us at the Skeptics in the Pub Online team look forward to seeing you at SkeptiCamp in October!
