Bitastic is back in-person this year!
Every year around Bi Visibility Day on 23rd September we work together to celebrate bi+ identities at an event with a wide range of workshops and fun activities. You don’t have to be bi+ to attend Bitastic, but we do want to create a “bi+ bubble” each year where we can share with others like us in a in a safe space.
Join us on Saturday 24th September, from 10.30am - 4.30pm, for fun and games, talks, workshops, and activities!
BiTastic will include free tea and coffee, and a free lunch! If you have specific dietary needs, can you please book your ticket by Thursday 8th September so that we can notify the caterers, thank you!
We will have a bonus online event on Friday 23rd September (Bi Visibility Day!) for people who can't make the in-person event, or who are coming to the in-person event and would like to meet people beforehand!
Feel free to attend as much or as little as you like during the event!

BiTastic is partnership between Edinburgh Uni Staff Pride Network, Equality Network, and Scottish Bi+ Network.
University of Edinburgh Staff Pride Network
The University of Edinburgh Staff Pride Network is an inclusive network that serves as a resource for the rich diversity of LGBT+ employees across the institution, including PhD students who prefer to attend staff events. We strive to take an intersectional approach to providing a safe, supportive and welcoming environment for all people who self-identify as part of LGBT+ communities, whether or not they are 'out' in the wider world, and to make LGBT+ issues more visible within the University environment.
