…which is really a fancy way of saying we all get together to share ideas, knowledge, and high fives.
Skepticon is also the largest free skeptic conference in the nation, and quite possibly the universe*. We accomplish this through a small team of dedicated workers, the help of a great many amazing volunteers, and of course–the support of people like you!

From Wikipedia.org:
Skepticon is the largest student organized skeptic and atheist convention held in the United States.[1] It was co-founded by Missouri State University students Lauren Lane and JT Eberhard. Guest speakers are invited to discuss atheism, skepticism, and other related topics. This free event is sponsored by the Missouri State Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, and is held on the campus of Missouri State University.
With a stated mission of "Helping Humanity Move Beyond Religion", Secular Action strives to connect activists with actions they can take, large and small, to further the cause of separation of church & state.
