Activities

In addition to our live entertainment, the authors' panel, and awesome speakers, we have a number of activities scheduled throughout the day.

Emcee, Awards, and Presentations

Andrea WarrenWe are proud to announce Andrea Warren returning as our emcee for the day. She teaches how to identify the epistemological disease of mysticism and combat it with honest communication, grace, style, and sometimes humor. 

Already a best-selling author, her latest book, "52 Answers to Superstition, Religion, and Ignorance", has been a hit in the freethought movement. 

Andrea spends her time writing, speaking, and taking care of her family.  She is married and has three sons and one grandson.  Check out her blog at blog.socialiqlady.com or visit her website at www.socialiqlady.com.
