Demysticon 2025 is all about the changing paradigms of astrophysics and cosmology. Join DEMYSTICON and take part in a community of experts, investigators, and enthusiasts. Our annual event this year in Sesimbra, Portugal (June 12-16) includes a weekend of talks, panels, and discussions about the successes and failures of the standard models, the new ideas that seem most promising, and what it will take to achieve revolutionary insight into the mechanics of the universe. Attendees will join the conversation directly, since afternoons are free for walks on the beach and casual collaboration.

Speakers at the annual event include Eric Lerner (Big Bang Never Happened), Dr. Alexander Unzicker of Unzicker's Real Physics, Gareth Samuel of See the Pattern, Dr. Patrick Vanraes of the University of Antwerp, Dr. Mike McCulloch of the University of Plymouth, Dr. C.S. Unnikrishnan of TIFR, Dr. André Koch Torres Assis of the University of Campinas, Dr. Martín López Correiroira of the Astrophysical Institute on the Canary Islands, Dr. Indranil Banik of University of Portsmouth, Dr. Michael Shilo DeLay of DemystifySci & Southern Oregon University, and Dr. Anastasia Bendebury of DemystifySci. More speakers may be announced in the coming weeks, so stay tuned.

Membership at DEMYSTICON also includes the option to present a poster at the annual event in Sesimbra.
