TAM Las Vegas 2011 had one of the best programs we’ve ever had, with more speakers, panels and workshops than any previous TAM. This TAM featured as one of its themes a special space science and skepticism focus, titled “TAM 9 From Outer Space,” including a keynote address from science superstar Neil deGrasse Tyson, director of the Hayden Planetarium and host of the PBS program Nova ScienceNow. Our Master of Ceremonies was the inimitable George Hrab! Enthusiasm for TAM grows every year, and TAM 2011 Las Vegas was the largest TAM yet, with more speakers, more panels, more workshops, and more skeptics than ever before—more than 1,650 people attended!
