The International Digital Labor Network (INDL) is pleased to announce its eighth annual conference, which will be held at the University of Bologna, Italy, on September 10-12, 2025.

The theme of this year, Contesting digital labor, builds on the observation that the recent rise of digital labor parallels an unprecedented surge of forms of individual and collective resistance in multiple geographies and settings. The strikes of delivery riders in Latin America, the unionization of content moderators in Africa, the organization of data workers and social media influencers in Europe, accompany emerging and more informal initiatives of mutualism and solidarity as well as everyday acts of individual resistance. Digital labor is becoming a key site of contestation for the future of work and of technological development (see below the call).
