San Diego, CA – March 2, 2003 – With a back drop of palm trees and the Pacific blue ocean, the organizers of the North American Conference on Bisexuality(NABC), announced today that the 1st Bisexual Health Summit will take place in San Diego, August 21-22, 2003.
"This is one of four pre-conference institutes that will be held in conjunction with North American Conference on Bisexuality,” said, Richard Woulfe, conference committee chair. The North American Conference on Bisexuality will take place at the Radisson Hotel San Diego, Thursday, August 21 to Sunday, August 24, 2003.
The largest event of its kind this year, the conference will bring together over 500 bisexual authors, researchers, health care professionals and activists from all over the continent and beyond. “But this conference isn’t just for bisexual activist and researchers, “ said Bisexual Resource Center member and conference presenter, Robyn Ochs. “This conference is for all people who wish to learn more about bisexuality and network and socialize with others who share common experience around their sexuality.”
Four days of workshops, meetings, panel discussions and entertainment are planned. Workshop topics include Health, Sexuality, Gender, Bi Theory, Research, Relationships and Family, Spirituality, Bisexuality in Media, Film and Culture among others. “We have great workshops and presenters, leading edge entertainers and a beautiful host city, “ explained Alexei Guren, Conference Program Coordinator and BiNet USA President. “More than anything, this is going to be a fun event and a great opportunity for bisexual, bi-curious people and their lesbian, gay and straight friends and allies to gather and build community.”
Dr Ronald Fox, a psychotherapist in private practice and a member of the American Psychological Association’s Division 44 workgroup, and Patricia Dunn, JD and former Director of Public Policy of the Gay & Lesbian Medical Association will convene the day and a half Bisexual Health Summit which will bring together over 60 health care providers, policy markers and bi health advocates. “This is an exciting time!” said Luigi Ferrer, Executive Director of the Bisexual Foundation. “We are witnessing the birth of the new Bisexual Health Movement.”
