**The Parapsychology Dialogues** is the premier annual convention in parapsychology held in a different city of the world every year. And this year, it's in Sydney - first time ever in Australia! **This landmark event** has a Welcome Reception (Thurs evening) followed by 3 days (Fri-Sun) of presentations, research briefs, panel discussions, workshops, and networking opportunities with 30+ academics, scientists, clinicians, and educators from all over the world. Plus there is a Gala Banquet event on the Saturday evening. **This is a paid conference**, and it is split into separate events in Meetup because you may choose to go to one or two days or the whole conference. The details of speakers and topics will be shown on each event post. More info and tickets are available here: [Conference Tickets](https://parapsychological.org/etn/parapsychology-dialogues-2026/) **A bunch of us from Melbourne are already going**, and if you RSVP on this series of Meetup events, we'll be in contact to add you to the Whatsapp group, so we can mutually coordinate and support the trip. ===================================================== **DAY TWO - Models, Mechanisms, & Clinical Integration** **Saturday, 15 August - 8.30am to 7.00pm** * Light Breakfast * Platonic Computation: A Theory of Psi Based on the Computational Universe Hypothesis - Simon X.
