About our Facilitators

Katy likes glitter, fairies, musicals and dressing up. She's an author, a mother, and a party host who knows all about having fun.

Ludy has been on the team for every Brighton BiFest so far. She is most usually found knitting in the craft area or drinking coffee.

David M runs the monthly London social Bisexual Underground, and has helped with numerous BiCons and BiFests. He likes Doctor Who.
