TAM events will commence with a Sydney Skeptics in the Pub, Special TAM Edition. It will be held at the City Hotel starting 7PM on the 25th of November with many of our international speakers in attendance. As the venue cannot host all the delegates and pub regulars that we’re sure will want to join us, pre-registration is required, through our Meetup group.

General information

• All sessions will be held in the Grand Lodge, unless otherwise specified.
• Registration will be open from 9:00AM to 5:00PM on Friday and Saturday, and until noon on Sunday. Delegates will get their name-tags at registration; tickets will not be sent.
  
• Refreshments will be available in the Banquet Hall throughout the convention.
• The program may change at short notice and serves as a guide only.
