2014 Convention Live Streaming Now Available!

Good morning everyone!

By overwhelming request, we have contracted to make live-streaming of the convention available to those of you who aren’t able to be here in person.

Livestream Now Available!

The convention hashtag is

Although the full convention experience, including the comedy show, costume dinner, Awards dinner, book-signings, hanging out with all your favorite speakers, seeing all your convention friends, and SO much more isn’t replicable through a computer screen, we want to do what we can to make the convention talks available to more of you. If you’re in the Salt Lake area, full registration AND one-day passes are available at the door, in addition to student passes—$40 for the ENTIRE CONVENTION—and we strongly encourage you to attend in person. But if you can’t, you can watch the talks online here.

If you haven’t yet downloaded the convention app for iPhone and Androidplease do so now. We are using it to make announcements in advance of the convention, so don’t delay!

The convention schedule is online here.

It is expensive for us to provide streaming service, and as a non-profit, we cannot make it available free. But, we are able to provide all 35+ talks for the incredible price of $20 total (!). We strongly encourage you to become a member of American Atheists and if you can, make a tax-deductible gift to support the important work we can only do with your support.

The annual Members’ Meeting is kicking off right now, and the Welcome & Opening Remarks begin in 30 minutes (9:30 AM Mountain Time).

This convention is going to be one for the history books. Have a great time!
