Currently we're pricing our overseas registrations in dollars and euros as the same as our UK prices in pounds sterling. We decided to do this to make our pricing structure immediately understandable to people in other countries. Because of the exchange rate, this works out as a discount for people paying in those currencies.
Recent changes in the exchange rates have meant that we need to bring this to a close – we can't afford to keep discounting our prices. So on the 12th of May we'll be switching the registration system to pounds sterling only for new registrations.
If you've already registered in full by then, then you won't need to give us any more money to make up the difference. And if you've part paid, we'll remember what currency you're using and keep your price as it was. This only affects new registrations that start paying after the 12th.
So – if you want to take advantage of this discount, register this week! And if you don't need to then don't worry – we'll still be taking registrations right up to the event itself (accommodation booking deadline is July 10th if you want a room on site).

It's Oxford BiFest tomorrow, and we're going to be there taking registrations. So we thought it was time to update you all with how it's going.
We're up to 100 registrations already, with over a fifth of those from overseas – which is great news. If you're thinking of registering, please remember we're happy to take instalments!
We're now taking submissions and suggestions for sessions. Please email those to programming@deleted.
And finally, we're going to be bringing along the test batch of the pin-badges based on our fabulous logo to Oxford BiFest to see if people like them. As if you needed an extra reason to go!

August is getting closer by the second. We want to make this the best BiCon ever, and we can't do that without you. You are what makes BiCon the wonderful community event that it is, and we want to make it a great event for all of us. A number of people have already given us great suggestions for sessions, but we need more!
We want to hear session ideas from as many people as possible, and yes, it is perfectly fine to suggest sessions you want to see other people do (although if you would be okay with being asked to run a session that's even better!). In particular, if there were sessions at past BiCons that really made the event for you, we want to know. If there were things that you would have liked to have seen differently, we want to know. New sessions that have never been run and you have no idea if they're even possible? We Want To Know! The more feedback we get the more incredible a program we all will have.
So please send your bicon2010 programming ideas to: Programming@deleted

This year's BiCon is also the International Conference on Bisexuality, and so we're welcoming bisexuals from across the globe.
Our online registration opens in a few days, but ahead of that we wanted to reveal how we're tackling the issue of multiple currencies. We've set out all the prices on our Register for BiCon/10ICB page.
