The brand identity blueprint

In a world where most of your business happens through a screen, your brand often makes the first (and only) impression.

What two exits and too many failures taught me about growing successful companies

Growth isn’t a hack or a channel – it’s a system. This keynote breaks growth down to first principles: defining your ideal customer, understanding the real problem you solve, speaking in their language, and mapping the full journey from first awareness to loyal repeat customer. Instead of random experiments, you’ll learn a structured process and core frameworks for turning attention into value, and value into long-term, compounding growth.

SCALE UP

Create a SaaS from the niche you know

Most people think SaaS is only for big tech — Vivianne shows how to turn a niche you already know into a simple, freedom-first product you can build from anywhere. She’ll walk through the real steps, lessons, and mindset shifts behind taking one specific pain point, turning it into an AI SaaS, and using it to escape pure client work.

Konstantin gives a hands-on breakdown of how AI search (ChatGPT, Perplexity, etc.) actually finds and cites businesses — and what makes it pick one brand over another.

GIVE BACK

Honor your freedom by contributing to the places and people that make it possible.

Giving back without burning out

This keynote explores a practical and sustainable approach to giving back. Drawing from personal experience across startups, engineering, and life abroad, Adam examines how purpose can inspire us and also push us past our limits. Instead of relying on large achievements, he invites the audience to consider smaller, intentional ways of contributing that fit who they are and how they live. It’s a grounded look at meaning, resilience, and modern impact.

From guests to contributors: How countries expect nomads to give back

This keynote unpacks why more and more countries are creating digital nomad visas, what they quietly expect in return, and how “giving back” is becoming part of a new mobility contract between nomads and states. Kaisu invites remote workers to rethink themselves not just as guests, but as contributors whose choices today directly influence how freely we’ll be able to move in the future.

Nomad Week
After two days of expert talks and strategy, Nomad Week is where the community takes over. It’s a full week of side events hosted by attendees: workshops, coworking days, hikes, dinners, and more. You bring the idea — we help you make it happen.

Last year’s Nomad Week held 56 events across 32 venues — and we’re planning to beat that in 2026.

Giving Back

Nomad Week events are free for the Nomad Summit attendees and open to the general public on a pay-per-event basis. 100% of profits go to FERC Thailand — an organization that helps disadvantaged Thai children in Northern Thailand complete high school.

WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF NOMAD SUMIT 2025?

Listen to the people say this in our podcast episode here.

“My favorite parts were learning about AI and the future of AI and how you should factor that into your career. I really enjoyed learning about how to think in processes and systems and leverage AI to build your business instead of being scared of it. Learn how to use it to your advantage. I found that really useful.”
“I was amazed by a community. The same visions, the same goals, the feeling of this connection. Super cool organized event. Amazing people. Amazing location. I hope it will grow and the community will grow together.”
“My main takeaway is that anyone can do anything. It doesn’t matter what background you come from, but I think the mindset of just going, looking, seeing the world, and exploring together with people with the same mindset.”
“I loved it that people are coming back. People I saw again from the summits before.”
“The talks about AI were really, really good. I got some tools that I’m going to use. I’ve already been doing a lot of AI stuff, but I got some new tools that I can use also.”
“I met some really interesting people — that was the best thing for me. Networking with a new kind of crowd of people.”
“I learned that Chiang Mai is a cool place. I have always wanted to visit it and see what the buzz is about Chiang. It’s a cool place. I really, really like it.”
“I’ve just met a lot of people who make $15,000 per YouTube video for a 60-second sponsor. So just listening to these stories is like, oh my God, that’s possible?”
“I learned to get shit done effectively using the AI tools from the speakers, and get more things done with automations, and also at the same time deliver the results on time.”
“There are a lot of like-minded people here in Chiang Mai. This is my first proper nomad experience where I’m on my own, here in Chiang Mai. And figuring out that everybody is the same kind of people here is amazing.”
“The diversity of people here. There are people from all over the world, wanting to learn new things, wanting to go out of their comfort zone. I love the open-mindedness. We live in crazy times — AI is either taking our jobs or helping us build empires or evolving every day — and people are like, ‘You know what? I want to be better. I want to improve.’ I respect that.”
