As we did in 2014, this site is tracking the major skepticism-related events worldwide for the benefit of SkeptiCamp committees and other event planners. It is always best to avoid planning an event on the same day as another one nearby.
2015 Event Dates[]
This list does not include Skepticamps, which are listed on the front page of this site. You can also refer to the skepticism guide on Lanyrd for a constantly updated list. Most of the links in the table below lead to individual event pages on Lanyrd, where you can find more information about the event.
