Over the past six years, our conference has become an experience that many attendees return for. It’s a place where new ideas are presented, new friends are made and new blood is discovered. It’s also a conference that has grown year after a year, creating new challenges for us. We throw UNIV-CON because we care about paranormal investigation. The one thing we strive to do is offer every viewpoint imaginable. Not just covering topics from UFOs to demonology, but the methods of investigation and culture, too. Nobody has the answers in this field, but many claim to. UNIV-CON’s ultimate goal is education, which is why this year we are pleased to announce that we’ll be offering grants and scholarships. We feel that it is important to take this direction because, at the current moment, true research and education in this field is few and far in between. Academic institutes that study paranormal phenomenon are dropping at an alarming rate. In America, there are less than a handful of these organizations still in existence. At the same time, interest in the paranormal continues to rise in the media through television, movies, and online. “Paranormal State” is just a piece of PRS. It covers a part of our investigations and goals. UNIV-CON has been around since 2002 and the goals of this conference are very dear to those of us who throw it. More importantly, we’ve begun to realize that UNIV-CON is important to many others. The overall plan for UNIV-CON has yet to be revealed, but I can tell you that it will certainly be ambitious. The goals of the conference rely not on the speakers, but you the attendees. Keep checking the website, as we are slowly adding more information and links. The full website is expected to go live 12:01am, MAY 1st, 2008. Until then! RYAN D BUELL UNIV-CON Founder Latest Univ-Con News... |
