Attendees of the three-day event will learn the latest developments from speakers and presenters such as Richard Dolan, Caroline Cory, Whitley Streiber, Nick Pope and over 60 other experts who will inform and educate with more than 125 sessions of cutting-edge information.
“Our event has been designed to take an academic and scientific look at alternative topics and stands alone as the leader in bringing this kind of information to the public,” said CITD owners Ron Janix and Gordon Pekrul.
About GEORGE NOORY
George Noory, host of the nationally syndicated radio program, Coast to Coast AM, says if he weren’t a national radio talk show host, he’d be in politics. Heard by millions of listeners, Coast to Coast AM airs on approx. 564 stations in the U.S., Canada, Mexica and Guam. While hosting The Nighthawk, a wildly successful, late-night program on KTRS in St. Louis, Noory was recruited by Premiere Radio networks to guest host on Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell. He became the permanent host of the phenomenally successful over-night program on Jan. 1, 2003, following Bell’s retirement.
Since then, Noory’s audience has continued to grow. Noory captivates program listeners with his discussions of paranormal phenomena, time travel, alien abductions, conspiracies and all things curious and unexplained. He is driven, he has said, by the desire to solve the great mysteries of our time.
From his first days as a radio broadcaster, he says, “I’ve wanted to cover stories that the mainstream media never touch – the unusual, the paranormal, and things like that. I learned that broadcast was the best business for exploring these issues, and I’ve been doing it for 33 years.”
Noory dates his interest in these matters to a book by Walter Sullivan, “We Are Not Alone,” that his mother gave him when he was 13. He was hooked.
