Taking place July 11 to 14, 2019; in Manhattan (that's in NYC), at the Fashion Institute of Technology.

Carl Zimmer is the Keynote speaker. He's done a lot for parasites, you know... I mean in a scientific research sense, that is.

Comedian Leighann Lord, is once again, the MC. She's held that role for a few years now, so that's nothing new.

Other guests include, but are not limited to:

• All of the Rogues of the Skeptic's Guide to the Universe (The Novellas, etc.)
• Mary Roach (Author, Science Communication)
• Paul Offit (Pediatrician and co-inventor of rotavirus vaccine)
• George Hrab (The Man. The Legend.)
• Eric Walton (Magician, Mentalist, and possible George Hrab clone)
• Brian Wecht (Physicist, and the "Ninja" part of Ninja Sex Party)
• Heather Berlin (Cognitive Neuroscientist)
• Yelena Bernadskaya (biologist, and Doctor Who fanatic)
• Spiro Condos (Dentist, and former President of NYC Skeptics)
• Russ Dobler (Science Editor for: Adventures in Poor Taste)
