QED is a two-day science and skepticism convention taking place at the Mercure Piccadilly Hotel in Manchester from the 19th-20th October 2024. Fantastic speakers from the worlds of science and entertainment will be joining us for a weekend celebration of science, reason and critical thinking.

We aim to be an inclusive event, welcoming attendees from all backgrounds, ethnicities, and genders.

Latest Update

One of the best things about attending QED is the social side – from chatting and hanging out in the bar and social spaces, to sharing thoughts digitally with other attendees during talks and panels. With that in mind, we have a few ways to help make socialising a little easier!
