Fuse Conference 2025
5th - 9th May 2025 - Cape Town, South Africa
A current is a flow of electrical charge, typically through a conductor. However, current also means here and now. The here and now is something that’s all too prevalent in the publishing industry, a landscape that shifts and evolves each day.
FUSE exists to rewire the way undergraduate editors connect in a field that never stays still. As such, the 2025 FUSE Conference is all about defining what current means to you: as a publisher, an editor, a creative writer.
What publishing and editing experiences have led you to where you are today? What literary conversations are you having? Let this conference serve as the conductor of your editorial current. Link up with fellow undergraduates, programs, and educators to exchange your own circuit of publishing knowledge.
This year’s FUSE Conference will be hosted at Susquehanna University, located in Selinsgrove, PA, from Thursday, February 6th to Sunday, February 9th. The conference will offer networking opportunities, hands-on activities such as paper-making and bookbinding, and space for students and faculty to spark discourse about the current and future field of publishing.
Tucker Leighty-Phillips, author and Publicity Manager of Appalshop, will be featured as our keynote speaker.
Registration is $30 per person. If you can’t attend the FUSE conference in person, you can purchase a Zoom registration for $15, which includes livestreams of select events, such as our panels, roundtable, and keynote talk.
