This year, Australian Skeptics celebrate our 40th consecutive annual convention, and it will be in Sydney, the first time to be held there for a face-to-face Skeptics convention since 2018.

Renew old friendships, make new ones, and hear from the best speakers at Skepticon XL.

The 2024 convention will be held on the weekend of November 23-24 at the Guthrie Theatre, University of Technology Sydney, Harris Street, Ultimo, a great venue in central Sydney close to transport (minutes from Central station), food outlets, and accommodation.

Our line-up of speakers is fantastic, covering medicine, space, education, media, science communication, belief systems, classic skeptical topics, and Skepticism itself – some of the best local and international Skeptical and science communicators, including two national living treasures, Dr Karl Kruszelnicki and Robyn Williams. Guaranteed to be informative, incisive, challenging, and lots of fun.

The convention dinner will be held on the Saturday night, November 23, at Rydges Central on the “other side of tracks” – 28 Albion Street, Surry Hills, a 15-minute walk from the convention venue.

And don’t forget the social gathering on the evening of Friday November 22, at the Occidental Hotel, York Street, Wynyard – just turn up and enjoy the company.

It truly will be a festival exploring science, reason, critical thinking and Skeptical conviviality.
