Upcoming Events
Agenda
To celebrate the one-year anniversary of IndieWebClub Bangalore, we’re doing something special this month. We’re organizing a Special Edition meetup where we invite you, the community, to present, demo, and showcase lightning talks!
Talks will be limited to 8 minutes, 15 talks in total. Feel free to submit as many talks as you have ideas, and we’ll work together to pick something exciting.
We would especially love to hear from you if you’re a non-technical user of the IndieWeb. We would also love to hear from you if you’re part of a marginalized community, a student, or if you haven’t spoken at a conference or meetup before.
This CFP will be open until midnight, 16 May 2026. If your talk is selected, we will get in touch with you and ask you to do a pre-meetup rehearsal with us over a video call. We do this to make sure talks meet our community standards and our speakers are ready to present on the day of the meetup.
We’ll announce selected talks on a rolling basis, with a final schedule released by 22 May.
Submit your talk ideas here.
There are limited number of tickets so book yours today!
If you have any questions, please reach out to us at blr+se@indiewebclub.org or DM one of the organizers.
