Digital nomad events are created, of course, for learning. But they also give us a reason to travel the world together. When you hop from one event to another, you keep seeing familiar faces while exploring new countries. It slowly turns into a bubble of international friendships, and being part of it becomes an experience of its own.
And there's also a quiet mission behind the scenes. Events are, in a way, saying: visit this country, it's worth it. Not alone, but together with 200+ like-minded people.
What if your 2026 travel plan was not "which country next?" but "which digital nomad event next?"
For this guide, we put together a possible 2026 route through digital nomad events, from Thailand and South Africa to Italy, Vietnam, Spain, and Bulgaria. You don't have to attend them all. But you can absolutely stitch 2–3 into one big "work + travel + community" year.
