Dueling Conspiracies: Battle Royale of Obscurity!

October 6, 2016 @ 7:00 pm

Is your conspiracy theory the one to rule them all? Dueling Conspiracies is an evening of Nerd Nite-style presentations and an open house of science fair-style projects on participants’ conspiracies of choice. The audience votes for their favorites, winner receives bragging rights and a tin foil hat. Whether serious and well-studied or tongue-in-cheek and up for fun, those interested in hidden agendas, open secrets, and the smoking guns that prove them are welcome to share their truth.
Deadline to register is Friday, September 30th at 11:59pm.

You have two ways of presenting your conspiracy!
A) Dueling Conspiracies Main Stage:
Duke it out by speaking on stage at Dueling Conspiracies, where you’ll be competing against other conspiracy theorists to sway a voting audience. Participants have 5 minutes to present their conspiracy. Use of slides is encouraged but not required. After the first round, the audience votes and the top 3 move to the final round where they have an additional 10 minutes to rant about their conspiracy, followed by a few minutes of Q&A with the audience. If you do not trust the internet, there are 5 day-of slots available for sign-up at the event, first come-first serve. (Day-of sign ups are not guaranteed to be able to use slides.) Please see all the rules below. Let the battle royale of obscurity begin!
B) Dueling Conspiracies Project Fair:
Create a science fair-style project where you explain and showcase your conspiracy one-on-one with attendees using any materials you like, including tri-fold science fair-style boards, human remains, glitter, etc. These presentations will not require speaking on stage or creating a PowerPoint presentation. Prizes and blue ribbons will be awarded for the best project. (Blue ribbons have been empirically proven to protect against mind control. You can thank us later.) Please see all rules below.
