Join members of Edinburgh Skeptics in attending QEDcon, the UK's leading science and skepticism convention, which takes place in Manchester each year. For those who aren't familiar, QEDcon is a two-day celebration of science, reason and critical thinking. It's an event where 500 skeptics from around the world gather in a hotel in Manchester to enjoy a mix of fascinating speakers, lively panel discussions, interactive workshops, and live podcast recordings. It’s a great social event, and it’s always a huge amount of fun.Whether this is your first QED or your tenth, we’re sure you’ll enjoy attending – it’s a great opportunity to learn, share ideas, and foster discussions, in a fun, social environment.
Speakers at QED will include: magician and psychologist Professor Richard Wiseman; journalist and investigator of wellness culture Rina Raphael; archaeologist and ‘ancient aliens’ debunker Dr Flint Dibble; health tech and wearables expert Professor Bola Grace; medical doctor and social media health myth debunker Idrees “Dr Idz” Mughal; open-source intelligence investigator and disinformation specialist Joe Ondrak; and security expert and ‘people hacker’ Jenny Radcliffe, and much more.
Alongside the mainstage line-up of speakers, there will be lively panel discussions, interactive workshops, and live podcast recordings, plus an evening of comedy and entertainment.
Tickets for QED are available at qedcon.org/tickets, at an early bird price of £164 (or £189 after September 2nd).
There will also be a FREE one-day Skepticamp event taking place at the hotel on Friday 18th October, where speakers from the audience will present a series of short talks on a wide variety of subjects. For more details visit sitp.online/skepticamp.
