Sessions
This year we are going to have programme items on Zoom and Discord.
Sessions at BiCon are run by volunteer attendees.
We have a programme here of our activities for 2020. This is a smaller online list this year so we can still have a BiCon. If you have any queries, just contact us on biconuk2020@gmail.com and we can answer them for you.
You should register for the event here to ensure you've got a ticket! It's the weekend of Friday 14 to Sunday 16 August 2020.
Detailed info is on our 'Session Explanation' Page
Each Session will be 50 minutes long – except DJing and the anti-racism training.
