We’re shaking things up! Gone are the days of a static, text-heavy conference website.
For our 2024 Self-Publishing Advice Conference, we’ve moved to a dynamic, interactive platform that’s designed to make your experience more engaging, immersive, and valuable.

Why the Change?
We’ve made the shift to an interactive conference space because we believe in making learning and networking a more hands-on experience. Our new platform is designed with indie authors like you in mind, so you can fully participate, connect, and engage with the content and your fellow attendees.
Whether you’re diving into live sessions or catching up on replays, this platform gives you all the tools you need to maximize your conference experience.
