Secular Solstice & Rationalist Megameetup 2024
On December 14th, New York City will have a Secular Solstice. Solstice is a holiday for people comfortable with uncomfortable truths and who believe in good. Secular Solstices take place in many cities around the world, but for us New York City is the best place for it. The first Solstice started here, amid towers that reach for the sky and glitter like stars in the night. Now a tradition spanning over a decade, rationalists from across North America—and sometimes further afield—will come together to sing about humanity's distant past and the future we hope to build.
Solstice and Megameetup will both be at the Sheraton Brooklyn New York Hotel, 228 Duffield Street Brooklyn.
Solstice starts at 7:00pm, Saturday the 14th. This link has Solstice details, and you can buy solstice tickets here.
From the evening of December 13th to the morning of December 16th, NYC will also be the home of the Rationalist Megameetup. In addition to sleeping space (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights) for those from out of town, we'll have:
- Rationality practice games, both tested and experimental
- Lightning talks on all manner of subjects
- Lunch on Saturday plus snacks at the solstice afterparty
- A lot of interesting people to talk to- hopefully including you!
Solstice and Megameetup registrations are combined, though you can register for only one if you like. Use the payment page to pick which combination of Solstice and Megameetup events you prefer, then register here. We have also arranged a hotel block of rooms, which is sadly closed now. If you do book a hotel room, please let the organizers know so we can better plan the number of hotel rooms next year.
We hope to see you there!
