World Nomad Conference 🌏🤝💻How Can Digital Nomads Create Impact for Local Communities?On September 30, community leaders from around the world gather in Fukuoka to share what they have built and to define what comes next. A digital nomad summit in a format no one has tried before. Free to attend.The Question We Cannot Keep Avoiding 🌏Will digital nomads become people that places would rather not have?Around the world, conversations around rising rents, local rules, and the impact of remote workers are becoming more visible. Rather than avoiding these questions, we want to put them on the table — together with the people actually building nomad communities in their regions.This is not a destination showcase.
