We are proud to announce that we will have one of the grand old men of the atheist and skeptical movement in Copenhagen. James Randi will be one of our featured speakers! If you were not convinced about your participation in the conference before, now you have no excuse not to buy your ticket.

I guess you all know James Randi, but just to give the short version:
James Randi started as a professional magician but is now best known as a skeptic and investigator of paranormal claims. He founded the “James Randi Educational Foundation” that investigates paranormal, supernatural and pseudoscientific claims. Randi is widely known for the “Million Dollar Challenge”, where the JREF offers $1,000,000 to anyone who can prove their supernatural claims under test conditions. So far, no one has collected the prize and psychics and the like tend to ignore the challenge.

Randi is truly one of key figures in the skeptical movement and can take credit for the fact that groups of skeptics are appearing all over the world.

We are happy to share the news with you – and we look forward to seeing you all in Copenhagen this June.
