Workshops
BECAUSE is now accepting workshop proposals for BECAUSE 2018. Submit through the proposal form before midnight August 31. See guidelines below.
BECAUSE provides workshops and presentations on a variety of topics of interest to the community. We have always benefited from the generous, skilled presenters who volunteer their time and expertise.
BECAUSE will be handling programming in a new way this year. We are reducing the number of workshops in order to allow for longer, more in depth sessions and to give us all more time to spend in community at meals and between sessions. There will be a total of 20 workshops, down from almost 60 two years ago. Most workshop slots will be 90 minutes long.
Workshop Guidelines

Workshop Guidelines
- Regardless of personal label used, presenters need to identify as a person attracted to more than one gender AND be supportive with the many labels people in our community use to identify themselves.
- Programming must include material directly related to the bi+ community. For example, we want our Trans 101 presentation to address the intersection of trans and bi+ identities, not just be a general introduction to the topic.
- Workshops and presentations with opportunities for attendee participation and activities will be given preference over those with limited Q&A opportunities or no attendee participation.
- We are consciously creating space for presenters with diverse lived experiences. We hope to continue and expand BECAUSE's tradition of centering voices that are often not heard.
