TAM XIII Roll Call

I think it's likely that I'll make it, so I'll add my name to the list. Still a bunch of unknowns.

I hear there are chocolate dildos and showers with random strangers at these events based upon another thread. That sounds awesome. I'd like one thing clarified though:

Will I get to pick the gender of the random stranger? Or is there a 50% chance I'll be crossing light sabers with another guy?

:D
 
I dunno about TAM, but I may take a vacation to Vegas this summer. Maybe at the Tropicana.

What do the speakers generally speak about? Do they tend to be forum members?

They speak about various topics on skepticism and critical thinking. There have been forum members speaking, but my impression is most have not been, or at least they have not been frequent posters.

Lots of TAM presentations are online and free to view. Check out the JREF Youtube channel to get an idea of what it's like:

If you want something closer to home, with a very similar feel (allowing for the fact that it's British, and in Manchester rather than Las Vegas), have a look at QEDCon.

Sounds interesting, aside from the Manchester part.

There are also some other videos scattered around on other YouTube channels, and on other services like Vimeo. I recommend you use this link at Lanyrd.com:

Use the blue tags on the right side to filter by topic, or type an additional query in the box at top and you can go right to what interests you.

There's a pretty complete history of TAM speakers including sessions they were in and so on at this link on the same site:

Sorry I'm late to this party. But, yes, I am returning in spite of the drama that is driving others away.

Touchy subject perhaps but can someone point me to a person who has something to do with the forum grants for TAM? I understand if there is no interest in that anymore but I've been asked if there is going to be any financial help opportunities this year.
