Mercure Piccadilly Hotel, Manchester UK

QED is a two-day science and skepticism convention taking place at the Mercure Piccadilly Hotel in Manchester from the 23rd-24th September 2023.

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

We have a handful of last-second changes to the QED schedule, driven by a variety of factors beyond anyone’s control! We hope you’re as excited as we are by the new line-up.
