- PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania: Iffy Books
Homebrew Website Club Philadelphia is an in-person meetup where we discuss designing, developing, and hosting our personal websites as a way to take back our online identities and control our content. This is an in-person-only event.
- BERLIN, Germany: Mozilla Berlin
IndieWebCamp Berlin 2025 is a two-day all-levels gathering and community workshop for personal websites and owning your identity, content, and experience on the web. 10:00-17:00 daily Saturday & Sunday (doors open at 9:00) before Beyond Tellerrand Berlin 2025.
The importance of owning your data is gaining more awareness every year – yet it is not enough, in times where social media is scattered and distracting. There is still a lot of work to do to help people understand what “owning your data” actually means. To get started and move our sites forward, we’re meeting for a two-day BarCamp-like collaboration and Hackfest in Berlin.
