Sheffield’s Octagon Centre will host the UK’s biggest annual humanist gathering – a vibrant mix of science, politics, culture, and comedy. Expect challenging talks, lively discussions, and a unique chance to meet fellow humanists exploring today’s biggest questions from a rational, compassionate perspective.
Explore critical contemporary issues with leading minds: hear New York Times bestselling author Katherine Stewart on threats to democracy; physicist Dr Helen Czerski on our planet’s oceans; happiness economist Professor Lord Richard Layard on wellbeing; author Will Storr on the psychology of status; tech entrepreneur Sara Wahedi on human-centred tech for good; and Dr Azeem Ibrahim OBE on the rise of authoritarianism. Plus, expect compelling contributions from philosopher Professor Richard Norman, journalist Ian Dunt, AI experts Professor Kate Devlin and Professor Claudia Aradau, folklorist Deborah Hyde, historian Dr Charlotte Lydia Riley, astrophysicist Dr Alfredo Carpineti, and many more.
Don’t delay – general tickets sales end after Friday. Miss the deadline, and any tickets remaining will be at a higher Late Registration rate. Secure your spot now for the essential humanist event of the year.
