BiCon must be appealing to some old-timers because at the last couple I went to, the average age looked to be way, way up on 10 years ago and there were plenty of people I knew who'd been going as long as me. Some of them are into the fetish dressing-up side of BiCon which didn't exist back then, maybe that's it.
But to appeal to me, there would need to be more than just one workshop for 'old timers' like at one con I went to. There would need to be plenty of meaty intellectual stuff. There would need to be non-dressing-up-non-disco activities in the evenings. Perhaps something for people to do together with their long term partners. The accommodation would not be divided into flats with their own kitchens where cliques form. (But the heating would be turned on and the canteen would be open for breakfast for at least an hour and a half.) And there would be no caballistic secret signals like dots on badges.
