The Northwest Freethought Conference is coming to Renton!

Online registration is now open for the Northwest Freethought Conference, from March 26 to 28 in 2010. Visit the registration page at http://www.nwfreethought.org to save your spot!

Keynote speakers this year are:

Dr. Domke, University of Washington Communications professor and author of “The God Strategy” and “God Willing? Political Fundamentalism in the White House.” He was one of the two top-rated speakers at the 2009 conference, and will be the keynote speaker at the Saturday banquet in 2010. He’ll be sharing ideas from his most recent research.

Ophelia Benson, the opening keynote speaker, is the co-force behind several books and a superb website, butterfliesandwheels.com, the goal of which is “fighting fashionable nonsense.” She will open our conference talking about being as critical of what we agree with as what we scorn.

Anu Garg, the closing keynote speaker, is the founder of wordsmith.org, which goes to 750,000 subscribers in 200 countries, and has often included free-thought ideas in the daily quote. He’ll talk about his philosophical path from Hinduism (330,000 dieties) to where he is now (none at all). He’s a member of FFRF and AU.

There are also multiple opportunities to volunteer, as well as scholarships that are available (I have one available for a member of Tacoma Atheists!).
