The International Conference on Bisexuality (ICB), also known as the 'International BiCon' is a periodic gathering of bisexual activists and academics from around the world.

Started by Fritz Klein and a group of fellow activists, the first ICB was held in Amsterdam in 1991. After a second ICB held in London the following year, the event moved to running every even numbered year. Despite it's Dutch origin the event has maintained English as it's sole official language, and apart from one exception has been held exclusively in English-speaking countries since.
