Indie Unconference - Europe

12/09/2025

Have you ever noticed how some of the most important truths in publishing are the ones no one talks about? The questions you've always wanted to ask, the unwritten rules, the "𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘵𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴" moments that can make or break your writing journey.

That's the entire purpose of 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗻 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲.

We don't have a stage or a pre-set agenda. We're a room full of authors and industry experts, all on equal footing, ready to share the honest conversations that happen when the doors are closed. Your curiosity drives the topics, and your voice shapes what we talk about.

It's a place for candid collaboration, not lectures, where the real breakthroughs happen.

𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘆𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁. 𝗬𝗼𝘂'𝗹𝗹 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲. After all, the most valuable lessons are often the ones you learn from someone who's been exactly where you are. 🗣️

𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗞 𝗬𝗢𝗨 to everyone who made 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 unforgettable.

From Matera’s stunning backdrop to the sparks of insight shared across the room, this past weekend reminded us of what’s possible when indie authors come together. We spoke openly about how fast the publishing world is shifting, and how, even amid all the change, we’re still building something real. Each voice is distinct, and each story is personal, but when we gather like this, we amplify what makes this community so powerful.

To everyone who showed up with curiosity, generosity, and heart, thank you for making this moment matter. We hope to see you in 2026.
