Great stuff here!

I used to have videos of the TAMs, back when that was a thing.

One that was fun to show to others was Neil DeGrasse Tyson's 2008 keynote address, where he talked about applying critical thinking to common myths. He covered many perennial favorites such as astrology, fear of the number 13, the moon landing hoax theory, alien abduction ("they have the advanced intelligence and technology to come here from another galaxy..and they crash...???")

This is a treasure trove.

My first memory of Neil DeGrasse Tyson is also from a meeting, but I think it was a CFI/CSI meeting, not a TAM.  It was in a side event in small meeting room, probably abouit 30 people.  The speaker was named Schwartz (which is why this stuck in my memory).  He talked about someone he had examined who could talk to “visitors” from space. (or something like that)  Tyson got up at the end, introduced himself and said basically: This is nonsense.  The other skeptics in the audience (including myself) didn’t figure we could add much to add to that.  (It’s been a long time and my memory of it isn’t completely clear but the impressive way Tyson shut down the speaker stuck in my memory)  My other memory of that conference is saying a lot “No I’m not that Schwarz”.
