This is happening at the uni of Newcastle on October 15 from 9 am.
The topic for 2014 is Consciousness. Speakers will be looking at this from a range of perspectives including Philosophy of Mind, Psychology, Meditative traditions and Artificial Intelligence.
Keynote speaker is Frank Jackson! Possible chance of robot death-match*.
Seriously though, this should be worth going to - all proceeds going to Headspace National Youth Mental Health Foundation.
* Robot 'death' is for entertainment purposes only and may or may not technically occur if combatants are not 'alive'.
