Why Should I Check Out the Sponsors?

As well as being the wonderful people that allow this conference to happen free of charge to all indie authors, twice a year, many of our sponsors offer very cool discounts, deals and giveaways to conference attendees. Check out the sponsor pages here.

How Do I Access After Conference Closes?

The conference is free and open to all for three days. Once the free period is over, an access pass is needed. There are two options, a paid six-month pass or a lifetime pass.

• Find out more about the lifetime pass here.

ALLi Members

ALLi members receive continuous free six-month passes for the lifetime of their membership.

1. Visit the ALLi membership site allianceofindependentauthors.org and log in with your ALLi email adddress and password
