About Skepticon
Since January 2020, the world has undergone radical and painful changes to such an extent that it can be difficult to remember what life was like before COVID-19. The last two years has seen both the best and worst in humanity as we have both risen to the challenge, or transgressed into conspiracy theories, denialism, and now war. Science, skepticism, and critical thinking will be vital to meet the challenges of tomorrow and so Canberra Skeptics is delighted to invite you to the Australian Skeptics National Convention 2022. Here you will get to hear leading speakers discuss Science and Skepticism in a Changed World, as well as get a chance to meet all your long-lost skeptical friends for a chat and a (much needed) laugh!
Canberra Skeptics wish to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land we are meeting on, the Ngunnawal people, and in particular Elders past, present and future. We wish to acknowledge and respect their continuing culture and the contribution they make to the life of this city and this region. Canberra Skeptics would also like to acknowledge and welcome other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who may be attending the convention.
