In two days hundreds of skeptics and critical thinkers from around the world flock to Las Vegas for The Amaz!ng Meeting 8, also known as TAM. If you’re new to Skepticism, TAM is a yearly conference where skeptics, scientists and athiests gather together to learn, share and celebrate skepticism. This year’s schedule is packed with fantastic workshops and speakers, from James Randi himself to other well known skeptics like Richard Dawkins, Phil Plait, Adam Savage, and the cast of Skeptics Guide to the Universe. You can see a full list of TAM8 speakers and their bios at the official TAM website.

Edmonton will be well represented at this yearly Skeptic conference, and if you’re stuck here at home you can keep up with some of the Edmonton contingent via Twitter by following @yegskeptics members list. You can also follow the latest from TAM using @porlob’s TAM8 list or by searching the official TAM hashtag, #TAM8.

Also, keep an ear out for a joint live podcast on Thursday night for Virtual Drinking Skeptically called Skeptically Speaking Beyond BS, hosted by Robynn “Swoopy” McCarthy from Skepticality, Heidi Anderson of Fat One in the Middle and She Thought, Barb Dresher from ICBS Everywhere, and Edmonton’s own Desiree Schell from CJSR’s Skeptically Speaking.

Have a great TAM Edmonton Skeptics!
