NYC Secular Solstice and East Coast Rationalist Megameetup

[Skyler Crossman]

When: December 13th through December 16th
Where: New York City
What: NYC Solstice and a weekend-long meetup
Run By: Skyler Crossman

NYC Secular Solstice and the East Coast Rationalist Megameetup is at the Sheraton Brooklyn Hotel, the weekend of December 14th. 

If you've never been to a secular solstice, it's a mix of speeches and songs celebrating hope in darkness, a holiday founded by and largely for rationalists. For more than a decade now, people have gathered in New York City to sing about humanity's distant past and the future we hope to build. Solstice is the night of December 14th.

NYC will also be the home of the East Coast Rationalist Megameetup. We will have sleeping space (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights) for those from out of town, as well as meeting spaces to congregate in. Historically the Megameetup has had calibration games, live podcasting, and the ever-popular lightning talks. There's been scheduled replications of papers, unscheduled lectures on poetry, and more interesting conversations than anyone has counted. 

Tickets for Solstice, overnight space for the Megameetup, and passes for the Megameetup Day Events are all present at rationalistmegameetup.com.

Why am I talking about a New York event on the Boston list? Because the megameetup often draws people from all around, with outliers as far west as California and as far east as Berlin.
