Planning
Welcome to the planning page for future IndieWebCamps!
The IndieWebCamp community is planning numerous upcoming events, including future IndieWebCamps, regular Homebrew Website Club meetups, Popups, talks, and other proposals — if you'd like to help, please contribute to this page.
See individual IndieWebCamp home pages (typically /Year/City ) for specific camp planning. Related:

2024
Let's plan 2024 IndieWebCamps!
The IndieWebCamps in following subsections are currently being planned and need help figuring out a date - help co-organize!
We had a few in-person IndieWebCamps in 2021-2023, notably in Germany and one in San Diego, so let’s continue planning those, and we should try to plan an in-person IndieWeb Summit 2024, keeping in mind vaccinations, and regional Covid case rates. See IndieWebCamp Organizing: COVID precautions for more.
Let’s also continue planning online IndieWebCamps and single topic pop-ups, perhaps focused on particular timezones.
- If you're interested in hosting an online camp or pop-up, go to Pop-up Planning page and write a stub for your event, or ask for help in the IndieWeb chat.
Locking in dates as far in advance as possible helps encourage the most attendance, especially farther away from venues/cities.
General planning date notes:
- November first half is the likely last chance to plan an IndieWebCamp for the year.
- December is tough due to holidays and lots of other events

Summit date proposals
Dates — Opinions from 2024:
- Tantek Çelik — I’m up for flexible Summit scheduling (delaying a few months, like possibly as late as October if that means we can do it in-person)
- David Shanske - Concur with Tantek Çelik that it doesn't have to be in the summer necessarily. Also, we could try a split event as we've done in the past.
- capjamesg - Keep me in the loop and I may attend!
- Pablo Morales
- Tracy Durnell - I like the idea of summer or fall when some activities can be outside!
- Anthony Ciccarello - Planning to visit family in Washington in the summer. Would love to come to a summit if possible.
- Ben Werdmüller - I would attend a fall summit just about anywhere. Also getting serious about a camp in NYC; could merge the two if it makes sense.
- Add yourself here… (see this for more details)
Specific dates:
Vague dates:
- 2025-?? some Saturday & Sunday
- Add yourself here… (see this for more details)
Perennial considerations:

Help Out
Want to help out with one of those? Say something in IRC and add yourself to the page.
David Shanske is willing to help out with an IndieWebCamp, providing support and planning to the extent possible. This would include some volunteering. Depends on what is needed and when and is willing to try to work with anyone who needs help in the Northeastern United States, and possibly farther afield if sufficient notice.

FAQ
Creator camp not a hackathon
Q: Is IndieWebCamp a hackathon?
A: IndieWebCamps are creator camps focused on helping everyone develop, grow, and advance their personal indieweb presence.
The term "hackathon" has become to mean some sort of short term event where a group of people come up with a typically new project to develop just for the sake of the hackathon, often in a competitive environment, and often for prizes donated by one or more sponsors.
IndieWebCamp resembles that only in the aspect of group collaboration.
- IndieWebCamp encourages you to work on and improve your existing personal site, not just a new site (unless you need a new site!)
- IndieWebCamp encourages you to work on your personal site in a way that encourages longevity and your personal use beyond the camp itself.
- IndieWebCamp focuses on collaboration instead of competition. There are all sorts of different experts at IndieWebCamp and we do our best to both ask questions of each other and help each other!
- The prize(s) you win at IndieWebCamp are your own improved personal website, hopefully with new features you can then use day-to-day after the camp has completed!
As we do "hack" on stuff (our own websites), IndieWebCamps do have a "hack day" component of it, but certainly not "hackathon" in the commonly understood "corporate hackathon" sense.
