BiCon



BiCon

BiCon is a weekend-long gathering for bi people, their friends, partners, and others with a supportive interest in bisexuality. We don't all use the labels "bi" or "bisexual" or even agree on what it means to be bi, but bisexuality is the common theme. BiCon is held in a different part of the UK each year, and is organised by a different team. A typical UK BiCon might have 200-300 participants, of whom about 60-90 are at BiCon for the first time.

The weekend runs from Friday through to (this year) the Bank Holiday Monday. There are discussion groups and workshops, with social space and entertainment in the evening. You're free to attend as much or as little as you like.

Some discussions cover bi-related themes, for example coming out, our experiences of the Lesbian and Gay communities, and lots with a title like "Bisexuality and X." Other topics have ranged from parenting to "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." Some sessions are action more than talk: e.g. in past years belly dancing, sign language and massage. This year we're setting aside Thursday afternoon for discussions of a more academic nature, with updates from the UK Bi research group.

Each evening there's a bar and social space, sometimes with performers or a disco, plus quiet space for board games or simply chilling out. If you like to dress up, bring your party clothes!
