BiCon (UK)
The UK BiCon (more formally known as the UK National Bisexual Convention or UK National Bisexual Conference), is the largest and most consistent annual gathering of the United Kingdom's bisexual community. While the format does vary, the typical format is a long weekend over four days consisting of workshops, discussions, meetings and social events. Although being billed as a "bisexual" event, it is open to partners of bisexuals, supporters, non-bisexuals, non-definers, and anyone else interested in issues relevant to bisexuals. To that extent it can often be characterised as a nexus of the sexual freedom and queer movements. Each BiCon event usually attracts between 200 and 400 people. The event frequently changes location between England, Scotland, and Wales, to promote accessibility. History In December 1984 the London Bisexual Group (in association with the now defunct zine ''Bi-Monthly'') ran a conference called "The Politics of Bisexuality" at The Factory Community Proj ...
