UFOLOGISTS: The Paradigm Symposium 2014 seeks money at the Woman's Club of Minneapolis

They sell this as fact. 

"From “black budgets” and “breakaway civilizations” to modern shamans and spirits, the Paradigm Symposium was a headfirst dive into the sort of topics that the modern History Channel would absolutely love to make programming about. The event was attended by individuals who have made frequent appearances on History’s Ancient Aliens series, such as Richard Dolan and Graham Hancock, as well Ghost Hunters International’s Barry Fitzgerald. All in all, roughly a dozen individuals, self-proclaimed experts in their fields, were on hand to give presentations and attend panels on all manner of subjects, but in the end it all boiled down to the idea that they were the keepers of a secret truth that they had unraveled a grand theme and that if you would only buy their book and listen to what they had to say, you, too, could be in on the secret." 

And here is the disclosure.."A four day pass for the event ran $250, and a VIP pass (which entitled you to a VIP banquet) was $340."
