Participated and asked father to join, for they showed Interstellar also (which father and sister hadn't seen).
The conference was interesting, as the organizers had tried to include as many different viewpoints as possible. In my hometown, a local shaman (an acquaintance, actually) gave the first presentation. I was amazed. Brilliant presentation and his answers to skeptics' questions were true pearls. Anyway, his presentation connected quite a few pieces of the puzzle for me (analogies and descriptions of yin & yang cycles in space .. from 4000+ years old local myths and folklore). At the capital town, there was a parallel event where an ufologist gave the first presentation.
But no, it was not all mystical and paranatural stuff. There were technical presentations about our student satellite, about the Mars houses built here and more. An economist talked about how he applied for being an astronaut on an upcoming Mars mission.
I liked how they covered both mainstream as well as alternatives. However, there were barely any people there for the alternative science.
