==History and organization==
The Skeptics Society and the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry are co-sponsors of the event, providing both financial and promotional support.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.csicop.org/specialarticles/show/the_amazing_meeting )〕
People attend the conference for a variety of reasons. The Daily Beast reported that some see themselves "as waging a broad, multifront battle to drag American culture, inch by inch, away from the nonscientific and the nonlogical".〔 While the organizer of TAM London, Tracy King, said "People come to TAM because they want to learn and hear from leading speakers on subjects which interest them, but they want to have a good time doing it. Our mix of academics, comedians and writers ensures an incredible event where the public can meet like-minded people without feeling like being into science or geek stuff makes them a minority."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/blog/2010/oct/15/tam-london-conference-critical-thinking )〕 Magicians are also given a central role at the conference.
Skeptic magazine from the Australian Skeptic's gives a detailed account of all lectures from the 2010 OZ event.〔
