October 23-26, 2008
This event will be the one of the largest gatherings of paranormal professionals ever put together to share with you "what's new & what's kewl" when it comes to doing what we love doing most! You will not only learn a lot but have a lot of fun doing it! Click on the logo to see everything we've planned...
So mark your calendar now!
ParaNexus Challenge - No one can hide and no one is immune from the paranormal world, in fact most people will turn-tail and run when they come face to face with the unknown. Are you brave enough to accept the ParaNexus Challenge which will be Web Cast for all attendees to watch on our private Internet TV channel on Friday night? This challenge will team up selected ParaNexus attendees who think they are brave enough and be part of a LIVE investigation in one of Tampa’s Most Haunted locations. A location that will be kept TOP SECRET until the teams arrive on location!
Spirits & Shadows Costume Ball - On a dark and eerie night in Tampa Bay the paranormal will happen as our conference attendees dress in costume for a great evening of entertainment at the ParaNexus Conference. After all, what’s a convention of paranormal enthusiasts without a Halloween party—especially a week before All Hallows Night?
Also a Note to Let You Know...that the air of the Paranormal Investigation and Research community is also buzzing with the great news that a group of hard working individuals is now in the process of unifying like-minded professionals like yourself into an association that is beginning to set high international standards in the field of the paranormal sciences.
As a valued member of ParaNexus, you will have the ability to access, contribute, comment, and utilize an ever-expanding library of shared paranormal investigative resources and research related data, including photo libraries, EVP audio and video archives, methodologies & procedures, documentation forms, training videos, and other sources from around the globe whenever you connect to the World-Wide-Web...all contributed by other groups and individuals much like yourself.
Being a ParaNexus member also has its advantages, because you will gain access to valuable resource information such as the latest news on anything paranormal by receiving your quarterly copy of the ParaNexus Journal of Paranormal Research (PDF emailed directly to you). Including access to new and emerging paranormal investigation techniques, research ideas, analysis and documentation forms, software, vendors & suppliers, equipment, team apparel and much, much, more. You will also gain and benefit from the knowledge and experience of other professionals, and they from you, regarding new technology, fresh approaches, concepts, and theories in the emerging world of the paranormal sciences.
