At present, there are three confirmed Stoicon-X events coming up worldwide during or around Stoic Week (mid-October). Not only are they in different countries, but they are on different continents as well.
The idea behind Stoicon-X is that, for those people who can’t make it to the main Stoicon conference (this year, in Toronto – tickets are still available), there could be smaller regional conferences or events, featuring speakers and workshops for those who want to learn more about Stoicism and its contemporary applications. Like the main conference, these are a great place to meet and have conversations with fellow modern Stoics.
For those who might be interested in planning and hosting a Stoicon-X, we have developed a set of very useful and thorough guidelines – you can download them here. Stoicon-X events don’t have to be all that large – they can feature just a few talks, workshops, or other activites – the key is that they are well-organized for their participants.
Right now, there are three main upcoming Stoicon-X conferences that have been brought to our attention. If you are planning or hosting one, and don’t see it here, please contact Greg Sadler, and he will make sure that your Stoicon-X gets into our comprehensive listings of events for this year.
