This is the twelfth Australian Skeptics convention to be held in Melbourne.

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

The 2025 convention will be held on the weekend of October 4-5 at the Forum Theatre, University of Melbourne, a great venue a few steps from the newly constructed Parkville Underground train station.

You can expect another line up of high quality speakers giving skeptical perspectives on medicine, science, education, belief and consumer issues. Guaranteed to be informative, incisive, challenging, and lots of fun.

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

On Friday 3rd October we are having a Meet and Greet at The Clyde Hotel at 385 Cardigan Street Carlton. Google Map Reference. Drop in from 6:00 PM onwards until closing. We will be in the back room.

Of course, the Skepticon Convention Dinner will be held on Saturday 4th October from 6:00 PM until 11:30 PM at the St Andrews Conservatory, 128 Nicholson Street Fitzroy. Check out their website here. Strike up interesting conversation as you enjoy dinner and drinks, witness the Bent Spoon Award and Australian Skeptics Merit Awards.
