Welcome to IndieReCon 2015!
Founders S.R. Johannes & Ali Cross welcome authors everywhere to IndieReCon.
We are so excited to have you all here for this spectacular year. As some of you know, this is the third year of IndieReCon. Last year, we had over 20,000 attendees and it was important to us to continue giving great content FREE, so everyone can attend, no matter where they are.
This year, we wanted to extend beyond the U.S. and the UK to indie authors and writers everywhere. So, we partnered with the Alliance for Independent Authors (ALLi) to grow IndieReCon into a more global experience, one we hope will be bigger, more exciting and more interactive than ever this year.
We particularly want to thank Orna Ross and David Penny of ALLi and Miral Sattar of Bibliocrunch, our media sponsor, for tireless work in bringing this year’s conference to life.
And of course all the volunteers and sponsors, who donated the energy and prizes and money that allow us to keep the online conference free to all authors, everywhere — and the live conference free to ALLi members.
24-hour Agenda
With the help of ALLi and our global speakers, we have expanded our agenda to 24-hours (what!?). We feel this schedule gives all of our attendees a nice balance of live events as well as static ones. That way, you can get all the amazing content without being chained to your computer.
Another new event added was the London Book Fair Indie Author Fringe Fest on Friday. It will be live-streamed on the IndieReCon site all day, so you can join in from anywhere around the world.
Prizes and Giveaways
Lots of our speakers have special giveaways that will run during their session so be sure and enter to win one of our awesome gifts (see the Events page). We also have a Kobo prize raffle at the end of the conference for anyone who registers: go to the registration page.
