What is SkeptiCamp?
SkeptiCamp is an international network of participant generated skeptic conferences.
It’s a new kind of BarCamp, an ‘unconference’ whose content is provided by the attendees themselves. Where barcamp focuses on technology, SkeptiCamp instead focuses on science, critical thinking, pseudoscience, paranormal claims, alternative medicine and the hundreds of topics of interest to skeptics.
An essay describing the role of the user-driven conference in skepticism can be found here: http://is.gd/bxnN (in PDF and abridged audio)
Where do you fit in?
SkeptiCamp emphasizes the participation of everyone including the first-time speaker. If there’s an event planned in your community, consider giving a presentation on a topic related to science or skepticism that is important to you.
SkeptiCamp tears down the barriers to organizing event. Anyone can organize one – it’s not difficult to do so. You don’t even need to ask permission. So consider hosting an event in your own town!

Directions to Vancouver Skepticamp:
If you come in the main front entrance to the A building, you would go straight through the lobby, past the cafeteria, and through an overpass into B building. Up one flight of stairs, or up the elevator to the 2nd floor to the main conference room B201, which is right at the top of those stairs.
