Being a digital nomad can be lonely sometimes. So it’s a great idea to break the routine and go meet like-minded travelers at international events, retreats, or conferences plus learn something new, at least once in a while.
On this list, you will find staples like Bansko Nomad Fest or Nomad Cruise and also newly organized events, such as the 1st Snomad Fest in Switzerland. Sounds exciting? Let’s dive straight in!
