Of all the conferences I'm not an organizer for, Skepticon is my favorite. They've managed to create a genuine atmosphere of fun, while still running a large conference in a professional manner. And they do this all while keeping Skepticon free to attend. And speaking as someone who has seen what putting on a conference involves, this is an incredibly underrated accomplishment.
In keeping with what makes Skepticon fun, there's now Skeptiprom. It started as a casual conversation on a Facebook post of Beth Presswood's about having an adult prom. In an effort to make it happen for real, someone tagged in Skepticon's Lauren Lane. And now it's happening.

This should be a great addition to what was already one of the best conferences around. Now I've just got to figure out an idea for a costume (on top of the costume for Apostacon's Meat Ball).When: Saturday, November 22 at 10:00pmWhere: Ramada Plaza Hotel & Oasis Convention Center • 2546 N Glenstone Ave • Springfield, MO 65803Masquerade BallCostume Party90′s PromDino ExtravaganzaCash BarFancy DressDates OptionalCostumes DesiredDancing MandatoryBe There orBe Square$10 SuggestedDonationBest Idea10:00pm is EstimatedWe Do What We Like
