• Ray Hall: The Papers Guy!
• Elizabeth Loftus: Writes about the fallibility of human memory. I don't remember much else about her.
• Jonathan Jarry: Man, this list is getting long. I might not have enough time, anymore, to describe all of these people!
• Gordon Pennycook: Seriously, though, this IS a very long list of people, isn't it?
• Ben Radford: If you weren't interested in anyone on this list, up to this point, then I suppose you're not going to get much more interested in the conference in general.
• Seth Shostak: So, you might as well stop reading the list of people, at this point, either way. I am including everyone on it, just to try to be fair, that's all.
• Jim Underdown: His last name is very redundant, I think. And, yes, he is another CFI person.
• Richard Dawkins: But, you can ignore him if you prefer. He generally keeps to the sides.

But, it's not just the guests that make CSICon great! It's the attendees, like me and hopefully you! Sharing a convention with likeminded independent minds is an awesome experience to behold! So, join us for that reason, alone!!
