dprjones has uploaded two videos on the AAI convention:

Aronra set to cross the pond!
First time Aron-ra to cross the pond
here's his channel http://www.youtube.com/user/AronRa
And
World Atheist Convention, Dublin, 3-5 June 2011

why not drop them a line to welcome them over :)

Also do we have a moblie phone number to use for the weekend, as there may be Atheists unable to attend the convention but would still like to meet up in a pub afterwards.

I'll try to get a video up, falling behind.

Hello, I'm hoping people can advise me, I've never attended an event like this before, I just happened to see it advertised on Richard Dawkins website, so I thought what the heck I might as well go to give it a try.

So I booked a ticket, but I don't know where I'm going to stay or anything, I checked the hotel website, but it seems to be booked up now. The main thing I want help with is where to stay.

I live in Northern Ireland, so I haven't decided if I'll be getting a train down or driving or what, I'll need to think about that as well.

Also, is Richard just going to be at the event on Friday? Or will he be there the entire time but only speaking on Friday?

Duo, I have found goireland to be a good website for looking for hotels and checking availability and so forth. It should do the trick for you.

Just while I was glancing I noticed Trinity College seems to let you stay there for 50 Euros a night, it's beside the hotel so I might stay there.

And also I'm really interested in knowing, is Dawkins just going to be there on Friday, or is he staying for the whole event?

With regard to accommodation, the most affordable accommodation can be found here :

or here:

Otherwise the Mont Clare is right across the street from Alexander, which is where Speakers are staying.

Thanks for the links, does nobody have any idea of how long Richard will be staying at the meeting for though?

Also I never got an email receipt or anything, where is the ticket to confirm that I'm going to the event I should have?

Print out your receipt from Paypal which you received when you used Paypal to pay the ticket.

This should be enough for your needs.

chancing arm here: anyone lost a foot or arm and cant go and want to sell their ticket? If so PM me. Life has been a touch busy lately and....well...na...forget the excuses...i'm just a tit and left it too late to buy my ticket.

UPDATE: Sorted. See ya there! I'll be the lonely weirdo in the corner trying to pretend i'm really best mates with Richard Dawkins

In the same boat as Ether was, if anyone has a ticket they wish to sell please PM me as I'd be delighted to buy it off you.

Thanks

Update: All sorted, thanks to those involved.

I have 2 tickets for sale at the original early bird price (€100 per ticket) if anyone is interested. I unfortunately won't be able to attend :(

Hi, so I'm planning my visit to Dublin on the 3rd. According to the schedule the first speaker begins at 5:00, is there any reason to be there earlier if I am not an Atheist Ireland member?
