In early 2021, it was still clear that there was no certainty that it would be possible to run a large 'in person' event in August and equally clear that it was impossible to get any event insurance covering the costs of cancelling at short notice, so the decision was taken to postpone the venue booking at Leeds Beckett again.
A second 'virtual BiCon' was organised in August 2021, again mostly using the Zoom and Discord software services along with Gather providing interactive 'old gaming console'-style graphics for some parts.
Its website is still at 2021.bicon.org.uk
