Conference recap

Jessica Macfarlane (February 1, 2018)

Venue:

I am almost certain, that despite the fact the conference was held in a Wellington nunnery, none of the attendees converted to the cloth, and none became extras in the next Peter Jackson dwarf-based epic (please email me if I am wrong: editor@skeptics.nz).

Amazing speakers:

Cara Santa Maria, Joseph Bulbulia, Hartina Mogosanu, Tracey McDermott, Ken McLeod, Kevin Hague, Dr Alison Campbell, Dr Vanessa Jordan, Dr Jonathan Broadbent and Vinny Eastwood.

Other fun:

A pub quiz, musical entertainment, beer, and a tinfoil hat competition were among the other highlights of the conference.

For a bit more you can listen to an interview with attendee Siouxsie Wiles here: http://www.radiolive.co.nz/home/audio/2017/12/science-report-special---skeptics-conference-with-siouxsie-wiles.html.
