Your participation will help make this event a success.

SkeptiCamp 2010 II planning!
Jul 28th
Hey, guess what we’re doing? Planning the next SkeptiCamp, and it’s THIS YEAR! That’s right, we’re doing another one and we’re not going to stick to some arbitrary yearly schedule.
We don’t have a lot to say officially yet, but the current plan is to do this in late October 2010, and we’re going to try to tighten up the presentation time so we can get more great SkeptiCamp talks in the time we have. Start working on your projects now and rehearse them so that they take about 10 minutes and there’ll be some extra time for questions.
There’ll be more info, an accurate date, and the return of the registration form soon!
Thanks Everyone!

Thanks to everyone who organized, spoke, and attended Vancouver SkeptiCamp 2010! Despite a bit of a slow start we got through all our speakers.
We’ll try to get some photos, reports and maybe even video up here soon, but for now the organizers are taking some time off… before planning the next Vancouver SkeptiCamp! Stay tuned for info!
Vancouver SkeptiCamp Begins
Mar 20th
Because of the Paralympics, parking and navigation around UBC people have been having a problem getting here on time. We’re starting 25 minutes late, but with about 60 people here already Vancouver SkeptiCamp has begun!
