    The Idea

    Ready to liberate
    your income
    from place?

    →You don't need to quit your career and start over.
    →You don't need to learn to code, or develop AI.
    →You don't need to change your lifestyle.

    This is where it starts.

    Whether you're looking for a remote job, thinking about freelancing, or somewhere in between — this event is for people who want to earn a living without being tied to a location that somebody else chose.

    You just need to know how to take what you're already good at and make it work remotely. That's what we're here for.

    What You'll Get

    At the Remote Work Edition,
    you'll learn how to:

    01

    Position your skills

    For remote opportunities — whether that's landing a remote role or packaging your expertise as a freelancer.

    02

    Understand your options

    Remote employment, freelancing, contracting. Different paths to the same freedom — we'll help you figure out which fits you best.

    03

    Navigate the practical stuff

    Cross-border tax, business registration, getting paid internationally. The unglamorous details that actually make remote work work.

    04

    Avoid the traps

    Remote job scams, fake listings, bad platforms, and the 'sell courses to sell courses' circuit. We keep it real.

    05

    Connect with people who've done it

    Not influencers. Real remote workers, hiring managers, freelancers, and founders who'll share what actually worked for them.

    06

    Leave with a plan

    Not just inspiration, but concrete next steps for your situation.

    What Makes This Different

    This isn't a nomadfest.

    We're not here to sell you a lifestyle. The programme is focused on professional development and practical skills.

    We're also not running a traditional job fair. Instead, we're bringing hiring managers, remote-first company leaders, and employment experts to the stage to share how they actually recruit, what they look for, and how you can stand out.

    Workshops where you actually do the work

    Build your CV, audit your skills, plan your next steps.

    Panels with hiring managers

    From remote-first companies — hear how they actually recruit.

    Practical sessions on tools and platforms

    That make remote work sustainable.

    Networking that matters

    Real conversations with people who've built remote careers, not just collected passport stamps.

    The missing link in remote success: Cultural intelligence in leadership and hiring

    Companies invest heavily in tools and workflows, yet many distributed teams still struggle with trust and misalignment. Renita unpacks why cultural intelligence is the missing edge — both for leaders hiring across borders and for nomads competing in a global market.

    Three pillars of remote productivity: SSOT, async-first, and Notion

    Remote productivity is a systems problem, not a tools problem. Lauri shows how single-source-of-truth documentation and async-first rituals outperform on speed and onboarding — and how to implement them practically inside Notion.

    Remote Work in Seasons: The Secret Powers of IRL and How to Measure Them

    Rooted and Remote: Migration, Belonging, and the Future of Location-Independent Work

    The remote work movement has a word for freedom. It doesn't have one for belonging. Ángela-Jo draws on 25 years of designing integration programs for immigrant and refugee communities to explore what rootedness actually requires — and what it means for anyone living and working across borders.
