The Amaz!ng Meeting 2012

July 12-15, 2012
South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa
Las Vegas, NV

The Amaz!ng Meeting (TAM) is an annual celebration of science, skepticism and critical thinking. People from all over the world come TAM each year to share learning, laughs and the skeptical perspective with their fellow skeptics and a host of distinguished guest speakers including James Randi, Penn and Teller, Carol Tavris, Lawrence Krauss, Michael Shermer, Eugenie Scott, Jennifer Michael Hecht, Steve Novella and the SGU Rogues, Ophelia Benson, and dozens of others.
.

People come to TAM to learn, to be entertained, and to enjoy the community of hundreds of like-minded skeptical people. At the heart of that is the TAM program and we’re proud to say that we think this year's is one of the best programs we’ve ever had.

Musician and Geologic Podcast host George Hrab will be returning as Master of Ceremonies for TAM 2012.

Our good friends Penn & Teller will be delighting us with a special presentation on Saturday titled 38 years of Magic & BS: A Conversation with Penn & Teller

We're also featuring as one of our themes a special focus on “Skepticism and The Future,” looking at skepticism of prophecy and fortunetelling, the intersection of skepticism and futurism (the "Singularity"), and the future of the skeptics movement itself.

TAM 2012 will feature the most speakers on the main program we've ever had, and will also feature panel discussions including:

The main program will also feature two live tapings of Skeptics Guide to the Universe, featuring Dr. Steve Novella and the Skeptic Rogues.

Just take a look at the complete list of speakers and the panelists, and see how truly AMAZ!NG they are! More will be added in the weeks and months ahead.
