Conference
01
Building success
Nomad Summit focuses on empowering indie hackers and aspiring business owners to create profitable ventures. This theme will spotlight business leaders who have successfully scaled remote-first companies, sharing their invaluable insights and firsthand experiences.
02
Building a life of freedom
Digital nomads and remote workers must balance personal well-being with professional success, often across time zones. These sessions will explore essential strategies for cultivating a resilient mindset, building global communities, and raising a family while on the move.
03
Building ideas into action
This theme introduces the hackathon at Nomad Summit. Whether it’s a tech solution, a social initiative, or a collaborative platform, the hackathon provides a hands-on space to bring concepts to life and validate them with the support of like-minded creators. We call it a buildathon.
Buildathon - where ideas turn into prototypes
A hackathon for builders. The Buildathon is all about bringing ideas to life in an inspiring, fast-paced environment. Think of it as a playground for ideas—small teams working together, combining skills, and creating something amazing in a short amount of time.
Nomad Week
The excitement doesn’t stop with the main conference on Saturday and Sunday—it’s about a full week of community-led side events that offer unique opportunities for networking, learning, and community-building.
Side events at the Nomad Week are the perfect opportunity to dive deeper into the topics that matter to you and meet incredible people in the community.
