The number of digital nomads and professionals choosing remote and location-independent careers is growing crazy.
We’ve prepared a list of the coolest catch-ups, camps, and conferences across the globe where you can meet like-minded people. It’s time to make yours for your future WORK & TRAVEL plans.
Nomad Cruise has been organizing events for digital nomads for over ten years. The concept is simple – you set off on a trip on a cruise ship while the program allows you to work, meet with a varied community of remote workers from across the world, as well as explore new destinations.
In the next few months, you can embark on the following journeys, each of which offers a unique experience:
DNA Beach Meets in Koh Phangan is a 5-day informal conference designed for 45 entrepreneurs and digital nomads to connect, inspire each other, and grow. If 5 days aren’t enough, you can extend your experience with flexible colive and coworking passes available for one-day or month-long stays, provided by DNA.
Nomad Summit is a dynamic conference built for tech enthusiasts, indie hackers, digital nomads, and creative visionaries. It takes place in the digital nomad capital – Chiang Mai – followed by Nomad Week with side events and endless opportunities to grow your network.
Nomads in Wonderlands offers workation retreats in epic destinations. Currently, two events are planned – a 10-day experience in Siem Reap, Cambodia, and a month-long adventure in Antalya. Both retreats combine focused time for deep work, career, and self-development, as well as relaxation.
Is your schedule a bit too tight for multi-day events? The organizers of the Digital Nomad Summit thought of that and came up with a conference tailored to the lifestyle of digital nomads – fully remote. On top of that, it’s for free (at least for now). Connect to any workshop and talk from wherever you want. There can possibly be no more flexibility than that.
Nomad Week will gather more than 300 remote workers in Cape Town, an emerging digital nomad hotspot. The program is packed with keynotes, unconferences, and workshops, as well as exciting outdoor activities, such as hiking up Table Mountain and safari trips.
Digital nomad retreats rarely take place in Brazil, making Nomad World in Rio de Janeiro truly one of a kind. And with more than 500 participants, it will also be the largest one. You will delve into topics like AI, marketing, and innovation. On top of that, the event will be both in English and Portuguese for everybody to get the most out of it.
This is a 200-hour training program designed for those who would like to become certified yoga teachers without sacrificing their careers and nomadic lifestyles. It combines yoga lessons, meditation, and free time to work, and it only allows 12 participants for maximum attention and comfort.
Kaya Connections Retreat is organized by local experts and therefore offers a very authentic experience. You can look forward to island-hopping adventures, cultural excursions, social meetups with a thriving community, and inspiring masterminds. There will also be a dedicated coworking space, so you can stay productive while enjoying Siargao.
Bansko has established itself as one of the biggest digital nomad hubs in Europe. And that’s not all. Every year, it hosts a week-long festival to celebrate the independent lifestyle. You can look forward to talks, workshops, mindfulness, sports, and other outdoor activities. All that in a beautiful Bulgarian village.
You can grow your skills and network even if you’re tight with time (and are traveling around Europe next summer). This 4-day-long conference takes place in picturesque rural Ireland and will touch on topics like the future of remote work, sustainable projects, and community development. You will also get a chance to explore Donegal and socialize in the way the Irish do. The best part? It’s for a pocket-friendly price.
Nomads in Paradise is an annual event for everyone interested in digital nomading. It features networking sessions, coworking, keynotes, yoga, and other wellness activities. As it’s happening in Siargao – one of the best surfing spots in the world – there will also be a group surf lesson.
Athens Nomad Fest may be a short event but it’s an excellent place to network and make new collaborations and friends. The backdrop of ancient Athens adds to the thrill. Plus you will get a chance to savor local cuisine at organized dinners and enjoy a spectacular closing party.
