The first Alberta SkeptiCamp will be held in Edmonton, Alberta on Saturday, July 24, 2010. Hosted by The Greater Edmonton Skeptic Society in partnership with the University of Alberta Atheists and Agnostics, this unconference will be held at the University of Alberta (further details to be announced soon). Our goal is to gather together skeptics from diverse interests and backgrounds from Edmonton and across Alberta to share and promote critical thinking at a day-long event.

SkeptiCamp is based off the BarCamp model, where programming is provided by the attendees: everyone is encouraged to come prepared to speak and participate. Each session will be 20 minutes, so interested presenters should time their talks accordingly.

The event is 100% free and a fantastic way to meet new like-minded skeptics in Alberta, so check out the SkeptiCamp Alberta site and sign up to attend. The exact schedule of events for the day is still being worked out so please check back for updates, but we’ve posted a draft version to give you an idea of how the day will go.

For more information on the history and format of SkeptiCamp, check out the wiki at SkeptiCamp.org. They’ve also got a great list of session topic ideas for those interested in presenting but not sure what to talk about.

G.E.S.S. will be having our first AGM on Tuesday March 16 2010 at 7:00 PM. We will be taking votes on executive and board positions. A $10 donation will give you a vote and membership, and, if you are interested, an opportunity to run for the board. We look forward to the bringing reason and fun to the coming year, so please come out.
