Magic Pages is inviting you to Indiecon and dinner

A few months ago I saw an interesting post pop up here in the forum:

I’ve since reached out to Urs and the team and well…Magic Pages is sponsoring Indiecon this September. It’s a festival for independent publishers, zine makers, and small magazines, happening in Hamburg from September 4–6.

What I personally loved about it is the fact that it’s the kind of event where people talk about actually making things instead of growth hacks and funnels.

We (that’s me and Mariia, who’s doing marketing for Magic Pages) are going ourselves because it’s an event for the community we build Magic Pages for: Independent creators who own their platform instead of renting it from a feed algorithm.

Overall, we’ve got a booth (so you can come and say hello), will host a workshop on using Ghost to create a platform that you own, and… we got a handful of spare tickets and an invitation to dinner for whoever ends up coming with us.

If you could make it to Hamburg in September and want to join us at Indiecon, send a quick email to help@magicpages.co. We’re not doing first-come-first-served. Once entries close, we’ll draw names at random from everyone who put their hand up. If we draw you, we’re trusting you to actually show up. Tickets are limited and we’d want them to go to people who can make it there.

What’s included: your Indiecon ticket (including Breakfast Club on Saturday and Sunday, so you won’t have to start the day hungry), and a seat at dinner with us and the rest of the group on Saturday, 5 September. Travel and accommodation are on you.

Entries close 26 July 2026, 23:59 CEST. We’ll let winners know shortly after, so there’s still time to book travel.

Hope to see some of you there!

Looks like next month is going to be busy!

I’m attending Singapore’s Art Book Fair (28-30th August) and then travelling to Germany to cover IFA in Berlin (2-8th September).

Looks like I’m now coming to Hamburg too. I’ve just started to make plans to squeeze in Indiecon on Saturday(and hopefully Friday too).

Will send out an email to you guys now.
