Register for 2008 Atheist Alliance International Convention

The 2008 Atheist Alliance International convention (Theme: Unsinkable Atheism) is now open for registration! It will take place September 25^th-28^th in Long Beach, CA on the historic ship Queen Mary.

(***Update***: I don’t see a non-student-rate registration page yet, but I’ll provide a link as soon as I find out what it it.)

(***Update2***: The non-student-rate registration page is here.)

The last conference sold out in a heartbeat and hundreds of people were left on the waiting list. They missed out.

Speakers this year include Christopher Hitchens, Lori Lipman Brown, Greydon Square, Julia Sweeney, Michael Shermer, PZ Myers, and Michael Newdow.

It’s not the lineup that they had last time… but it’s still as exciting and large a gathering of atheists as you’ll see all year.

Tickets are $150 for AAI non-members, $140 for members, and $70 for students.

You may also enjoy the cheesy-but-entertaining titles of the talks.

If you can’t make this conference, there are two more major ones in the atheist world left this year:

• The World Humanist Congress conference in Washington D.C. this June (held jointly by the International Humanist and Ethical Union, American Humanist Association, Secular Student Alliance, and International Humanist and Ethical Youth Organization)
• The Freedom From Religion Foundation convention in Chicago this October

Make it out to at least one of these and meet your fellow freethinkers!
