Staying on top of the new developments in your field is one thing, but being the best digital nomad you can be is a different thing altogether. While you can learn a lot from digital nomad groups, blogs, talking to people who live the lifestyle, or from books on the topic, there are still many things that are best learned directly from people who have teaching experience and know-how.
So with that said, here are digital nomad conferences you absolutely cannot miss out on.
DNX Nomad Conference
There’s a lot to learn at the DNX Conference. There are talks on anything from how to be more productive and procrastinate less, how to teach remotely, learn to blog and publish through Amazon, and there are freelance business tips and ideas for how to be more creative.
The whole conference takes place in Lisbon, Portugal, so if you’re nearby, you absolutely have to give this one a look.

Tickets aren’t too bad with a base ticket around €200 and climbing up to €1000 per VIP ticket. However, you might have a hard time buying a ticket since they are sold out at the moment. But don’t despair - ask around nomad forums and see if people aren’t selling their tickets.
Virtual Nomad Summit
This is a great way to get a lot of information firsthand without leaving your home. True to form, this digital nomad summit is fully online (though there are some options for meeting in person as well).
You can enjoy a panel of speakers as well as structured talks after which you can ask questions. The many experts and long-time nomads have a ton of useful information so go to their website and register for the 2022 summit now.
7in7 Digital Nomad Conference
This conference is packed with workshops, experienced speakers, and like-minded people all in the intimate surroundings of Montréal. The conference is LGTBQI+ friendly and has a large portion of women speakers. It’s also open to vegan and gluten intolerant nomads as well as those who need wheelchair access, have visual or hearing impairment, or need childcare.
The downside is its price. For €600 you will get access to two days of workshops but the base ticket only covers two workshops.
However, it also gets you access to the 7in7 platform where you can meet other attendees and organize meetups. Part of the price is also a trip around the city, a closing party, and a fully catered lunch together with snacks.
Buy your tickets for seven days in September and enjoy one of the best conferences for digital nomads out there.
Nomad Island Fest
Few conferences and events for digital nomads are as exclusive as this one. The one-week-long festival on Madeira Island in Portugal gets backing from such titans as Microsoft or Apple but getting into it is no mean feat.
Not only is a ticket without accommodation for rent starting at €900 (and goes up to €1900 with the cheapest shared accommodation) but before you’re even allowed to pay, you need to fill in an application and have an interview through an online call.

But if you jump through these hoops, this December, you will have an opportunity of a lifetime. Most people praise it for its networking opportunities.
The rigorous selection process gives you a chance to meet the best of the best and find not just an opportunity for a client or two but to start entire companies. Nomad Island Fest is truly where big dreams come true.
