Most years, it is the Decision Making Plenary (DMP) at a BiCon that approves bids to run future events.

As there had been no volunteers to run BiCon 2015 by the end of BiCon 2014's DMP, the responsibility fell to us to approve any bids.

We are delighted to announce that we have approved the bid of Rowan to run BiCon 2015. This will be Rowan's 25th UK BiCon, and she has been in charge of more of them than anyone else. We have every confidence that it will be at least as good as the other ones she has run.

You can find out more about BiCon 2015 at its website, 2015.bicon.org.uk – we hope to see you there.
