Every year, groups of investigators all over the world go out and attempt to identify UFOs. A lot of the time they are meteors or man-made aircrafts, promptly solving the “unidentified” aspect of a UFO. But sometimes there is no straightforward answer and to a lot of people, that begs the long lasting question: is there extraterrestrial life and has it come to Earth? The Quinault Beach Resort and Casino is proud to host the annual UFO/Paranormal Summit conference that jumps into these questions with educated speakers sharing their experiences and research.

Starting on Friday, March 1, at 6:00 p.m. and going through Sunday, March 3, at 12:00 p.m., the conference is the perfect time for a relaxing break where people can join in on a weekend of forums and activities, while enjoying everything the casino has to offer. Everyone from first time conference goers to professional researchers will be bustling about at the QBRC for a few days of fun and information at the annual UFO/Paranormal Summit conference.
Tickets are $45 per person and can be purchased online or at the door. A workshop ticket that includes a special event with Derrel Sims, The Alien Hunter, on Sunday is $100 and comes with a weekend pass and a free T-shirt, too. There are 3 rotating workshops on Sunday. Derrel hosts one, UFO iTeam hosts another and Maurene Morgan hosts the third and is limited to 45 people total. Every group of 15 rotates so they get all 3 workshops. There will also be 1 or 2 surprise speakers coming.
There is a special rate for the weekend for conference attendees that includes two tickets to the Friday and Saturday events and two complimentary T-shirts. The UFO Summit Room package starts at only $349 for two nights, so make a reservation today while space is still available.

To kick off the events on Friday at 6:00 p.m., guests will have the chance to check out plenty of themed vendors with an assortment of items like clothing, reading materials, and other souvenirs or mementos. There will also be a meet and greet with the conference speakers from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. where guests will have the chance to ask questions, receive autographs and snap some photos.
