Welcome
to the
6TH EDITION
What is an unconference?
Think of it as the choose-your-own-adventure version of a conference.
There’s no rigid agenda, no endless panels to sit through—just a bunch of smart, curious people deciding what’s worth talking about in the moment.Attendees pitch ideas, form small groups around shared interests, and dig into the stuff that actually matters to them. It’s spontaneous, collaborative, and way more interesting than pretending to listen to another PowerPoint!
Independent Doesn’t Mean Alone
Join Us for an Unforgettable Experience in Pisa
The Indie Unconference Europe is back for its sixth edition—and this time, we’re taking over the elegant Grand Hotel Duomo in Pisa, Italy, from June 16–19, 2026.
This isn’t your average publishing event. It’s a gathering of smart, creative, independent minds—all here to swap ideas, share hard-won lessons, and spark new collaborations.
Because in indie publishing, you might work alone—but you don’t have to figure it out alone.
What Makes An Unconference Different?
At Indie Uncon, there’s no waiting around for “your” topic to come up—you bring it to the table. The conversations are driven by curiosity, not schedules.
Are you curious about book marketing that actually works? Would you like to share your latest publishing experiment? Or just swap battle stories from the indie trenches? You’ll find your people here.
Every session is shaped by the group—spontaneous, focused, and refreshingly real. You’ll learn more in one honest conversation than you would from a dozen PowerPoint slides.
It’s not about sitting through lectures. It’s about connecting, sharing, and walking away with ideas you can actually use.
Why Pisa?
Pisa isn’t just famous for its tower—it’s a city built on curiosity and creativity. From Galileo’s experiments to the lively café chatter of today, this place has always inspired big ideas.
Between the Tuscan sunshine, the art, the architecture, and the espresso-fuelled conversations, it’s impossible not to feel inspired.
Here, you can talk publishing strategy in the morning and sip prosecco under the Italian sky by evening.
Added bonus? Pisa is easy to get to!
Craft Your Success Story in Pisa
Whether you’re an experienced author or just starting your indie journey, this is your chance to connect, learn, and recharge.
Every conversation could spark a new idea. Every connection could open a new door.
So don’t miss it—join us in Pisa, and see what happens when independent minds come together.
Don’t just watch the industry evolve. Be part of it.
