SkeptiCal is BACK

Get your tickets now for the lowest price of the year for the 2026 SkeptiCal Conference, northern California’s meeting on science and critical thinking. We’re back at the Oakland Asian Cultural Center on Saturday June 27, 2026.

We’re planning a slate of amazing speakers (which we’ll announce in April), with a central theme of dis/mis-information. Tickets are limited, so grab them early.

We’re also planning a LIVE Skeptics-in-the-Pub on the night before – Friday – in Oakland, with the online Global Skeptics in the Pub moving to its own date later in the year (stay tuned for more information).

Tickets and more information at https://SkepticalCon.com.
