First European Bisexual Conference



The Foundation European Bisexual Conference organizes the first 
conference aimed at bisexuals in Europe in Rotterdam on June 22, 23 and 24 of the 
year 2001.

Conferences for bisexuals have been organized in the Netherlands and 
around the world before, but never before has one been held specifically aimed 
at European bis. As the importance of rules from 'Brussels' increases and 
the EU is expected to expand eastward, an international European network 
becomes of the essence. European bisexuals will need to be able to find each 
other.

This in order to exchange information and experience in the areas of 
freedom of sexual preference and the position of bisexuality within the various
countries' societies. The European Bisexual Network, for which this
conference will provide the basis, aims to improve visibility on a 
European level and will monitor relevant European legislation.
The conference organizers purposely named it EBC1, because we hope that 
in the future EBCs will be organized every two years (bi-yearly) somewhere 
in Europe. (Possibly in the next cultural capital of Europe)

The conference theme "Same Preferences, Different Lifestyles" stresses 
the diversity of bisexuality: bisexuals choose various forms when deciding 
on a way to express their sexual preference. By offering a large choice of 
very different workshops and lectures the conference will be an interesting
experience for anyone who is involved with their (bi)sexual identity. 
Of course this conference will not consist of only serious discussions, 
talks, science and education. There will be ample room for relaxing during
performances, parties and informal gatherings.

EBC1 is a project that joins Rotterdam Pink City, one of the many faces 
that Rotterdam shows as part of the activities organized in the framework of
Rotterdam Cultural Capital of Europe 2001. On June 22, the EBC1 will 
form the opening event of the Pink Week, a week that is stashed with 
activities for gay men, lesbian women, bisexuals, straight people and any other.

The registration fee you pay to attend the conference is based on 
income. The fees are between 45 euro (100 guilders) and 80 euro (180 guilders).
There're admission fees for one day attendance.
