For just $50 you can also attend one of our unique Congress Dinners With A Difference, which include a Philosophy Cafe options where we match good food with big thinking.

Each Philosophy Café will present a Philosopher or Thinker, who will give a short informative talk and then offer you the chance to become involved in an engaging debate and discussion. This is a chance to test your thinking and tantalise your tongue!
With Café subjects ranging from What do we owe strangers? Open borders and the politics of exclusion to Privacy and ‘the right to know‘, your Congress dinner will come with extra intellectual seasoning! Or if you just want some quiet time to reflect on what you have heard, you can also pick from the range of cafes that have been crowd sourced from your Melbourne colleagues.
You can see a full list the discussion subjects at the Philosophy Cafes here and you can make your selection when you register.
