Pragma Indie Dinner 2025

Hello Indies!

Konstantin here, from the Shiny Frogs, and, together with the Pragma Conference team, we’ve got some interesting news!

First some foundations

On the 30th and 31st of October, in Bologna, the #Pragma Conference will take place. It is a conference about the Apple Ecosystem that’s been around since 2015. Here at Shiny Frog, we never miss an edition, and we believe it is the best conference in our field that you can find in Europe, presented in the English language. As a bonus, it’s brewed with love by a non-profit organization!

And now, the interesting part!

In the 2023 edition of the conference, we made an experiment with the first Pragma Indie Dinner ever, and it was a blast! A lot of food, good wine, and fun.

So this year again we thought, “What’s better than attending an amazing conference?” A wonderful dinner with beautiful people! And now we have the proof it is!

Italians always try to incorporate food into everything, so we set up an exclusive soirée.

A Dinner You Won’t Forget!

Since the WWDC is no longer the in-person event it used to be, we found ourselves without a yearly occasion where we could meet with other indie-devs and discuss our indie-lives. These kinds of moments were fantastic opportunities to meet new people and form bonds that could even lead to indie-friendships!

We see this dinner as the perfect opportunity to chat, share war stories from the coding trenches, and have a blast with fellow creators.

On the 29th of October, the eve of the conference, we’re setting the stage for a laid-back, all-expenses-paid dinner for our beloved indie developers. If you’re reading this, consider this your golden ticket.

How?

If you and your colleagues would like to join us, please complete this form (one form for each colleague). And if you have a fellow indie developer in mind who might appreciate this, do let me know by writing to konstantin.erokhin@shinyfrog.net, I will be glad to reach them!

Make sure to insert a valid email address to be sent the final details about the dinner (where, times, organizational information), and the allergies or intolerances, if any, to help us with the food selection.

Questions, ideas, or want to chat? You’ve got my email. Looking forward to seeing you there!

P.S.: At the moment of writing this, the Pragma Conference is calling for papers. So if you have interesting stories (and I bet you do), don’t hesitate to submit your talk idea!
