CSICon 2021
Hi everyone,
CSICon 2021 is still tentative, but scheduled for 21-24 October 2021 at the Flamingo according to Skeptical Inquirer v44 #5. As many know, CFI depends on volunteers to help with setup, registration, checking tickets, line management at book signings, and packing up. We NEVER miss anything we have paid for; when the sessions start we're in the audience. I only ask for about four hours of your time during the conference. In the past we've gotten free admission to the Saturday night parties and free t-shirts, and I assume we'll get the same this year. If you're interested please use the volunteer sign-up email address at https://csiconference.org/volunteer/. We need about 20 people to cover everything. |

Thankfully 2020 was canceled, which spared us from having to go back to the Westgate

Yes, but I think we're back at the Flamingo with the Very Long Hallway this year.

Email yesterday says it is canceled for 2021. And Flamingo is the choice again for 2022.

Yep, off for this year.
There is bad news and good news for 2022 - the bad news is that's it's at the Flamingo, the good news is that it's not at the god-awful Westgate. |

You'd have thought I would have gotten the official news at the same time as you two. Yes, it's canceled for 2021. :-(

The call for volunteers is delayed until 2022.

Starting a rumor
I'm very disappointed in the loss of CSICon this year. I understand but not happy how it was announced. Every year is terrific - so when someone says that the next year will be better then I want to know what they could do better. Are we getting jet packs? Are we adding a day? Is the price cut? What? Tell us - we aren't children.
So there is a rumor started that people are going to Vegas in early October. The place and date will be decided later as we see what happens in the world of Covid. Just wanted you all to know. |

Nice rumor! I'd like to see friends again, and it'd be nice to be in Vegas without having to worry about a schedule. I hope it won't conflict with ASL Oktoberfest (3-10 October).

Wrong CSI (and it's not a television show either, as I've been asked), but CSICON 2022 is on: the back cover of Skeptical Inquirer v45#6 has "Save the Dates, October 20-23, 2022" at the Flamingo.

Sorry I didn't see this post sooner. It's in Las Vegas. Let's move the discussion for the 2022 event, assuming there is one, to this thread: http://www.internationalskeptics.com...d.php?t=354954
