The organisers of Newcastle Skeptics, David and Andrew, are both going to be at QED this year. Hopefully we will see some of you too. Otherwise, you can still get a virtual streaming ticket and watch some amazing content!
It's time to make difficult choices. What will you have to miss to see that speaker you're desperate to see? Which panel clashes with your favourite podcast? Who is most likely to tell you how to be in 2 places at once? The QED 2024 schedule is now live:

@BillCorcoran5 @Tyneside_Irish Yes, was great to be back in the same venue! We did have a mic (eventually) but the speaker decided to not use it. Would have loved a second wireless mic for the Q&A though.

@Alb_Ee @Lindybeige Sadly not, we can only do in-person for these events. If you would like online talks, the I suggest looking up Skeptics in the Pub Online.
