Bi+ World Conference (Amsterdam)

Bi+ Netherlands and Bi+ Equal are working together to run a Bisexual+ conference in Amsterdam during World Pride - Euro Pride (which is July 25 - August 8 in the same city). It also marks 25 years of marriage equality in the Netherlands. The official language will be English, but there will obviously be people there who speak other languages. No translation/interpreting support is provided due limited resources.

They warmly invite bi+ people from around the globe to join them for this three-day conference, featuring engaging workshops, insightful panels, meaningful connection, and opportunities to explore the city during this exceptional time. It is a unique occasion to meet bi+ people from all corners of the world, exchange knowledge and lived experiences, and celebrate the strength and diversity of the bi+ community together.
