Taking place on 25 November at York Hall in east London, the conference will feature lectures on topics including self service checkouts, toast, heights of celebrities, yellow lines, walking home, shop fronts, civil aircraft and fridges.
In a late addition to the programme, visitors will attempt to complete the highest number of rotations in a single self-propelled spin on a standard office chair.
Contrary to first impressions, this event is not a spoof.
Its organiser, James Ward, brought the event to life three years ago in response to the Interesting Conference being cancelled.
He told Event: "The conference was formed after I tweeted that the obvious next step after Interesting was cancelled would be to launch Boring. The response was really positive. I think visitors enjoy the niche areas our speakers are experts in, and that we cover topics which are often overlooked or taken for granted."
In its first year, Boring attracted 200 visitors. It will welcome 500 in 2012.
"I thought it might be a novelty when it first launched, but there seems to be a genuine market for this event," said Ward.
Last year, the event featured 400 people listening in silence to the sound of a vending machine being played over loud speakers.
