From June 26 to July 3, Bulgaria’s mountain resort Bansko is preparing to welcome hundreds of digital nomads and people working remotely from around the world to celebrate freedom and independent living and work.
For a period of 7 days, participants in Bansko Nomad Fest will have the opportunity to hear 70 inspiring speakers, participate in a series of seminars and share their stories. This year, the topics of the event include e-commerce, creating your own online course, success on Youtube, fundraising, commodity photography and many other issues relevant to digital nomads.
Apart from the official program, the organizers of Bansko Nomad Fest have planned a series of outdoor activities. Among them are hikes in Pirin, rafting, mountain biking, wine tours and other opportunities to diversify the remote work of nomads with outdoor entertainment.
The event for people whose professions allow work from anywhere in the world, started in 2020 and even during the pandemic, managed to attract hundreds of participants, the organizers say.
In 2021, the event attracted more than 300 digital nomads from around the world.
