What Is Author Nation?

Author Nation is the world’s largest indie author conference, taking place over four days of education, networking, and professional growth in Las Vegas. Founded in 2023 and operated by Author Ventures LLC, the event was built around a simple belief: successful authors are built through community, strategy, and consistent action.

Since launching, Author Nation has grown year after year. In 2025, the conference welcomed over 1,200 attendees, with 1,400 expected for 2026. Alongside the live event, the broader Author Nation community now includes more than 3,000 members, 70+ vendors and service providers, hundreds of speakers and volunteers, and a rapidly growing ecosystem of authors, educators, and publishing professionals.

At its core, Author Nation exists to help authors build sustainable, prosperous creative careers in the golden age of content creation.
