Digital Nomad Events

DNX

September 9-10

Lisbon, Portugal

Digital Nomad Conference is exactly what it sounds like – a conference built for location independent business owners. If you’ve been around the LI scene a while, you’ve probably learned how important masterminds are to this lifestyle. There will be plenty of opportunities to network and mastermind at this conference. Attendees will also learn from an incredible list of speakers including Natalie Sisson of The Suitcase Entrepreneur, Pat Flynn of Smart Passive Income, and Taavi Kotka discussing the Estonian E-Residency program.

7in7

October

Barcelona, Spain

7in7 is generating a lot of buzz in the digital nomad community this year. This will be their second conference (of seven, one on each continent) and their open approach to ideas, feedback, speakers, and giving back to the community seems to be very well received. The concept is to bring together nomads in a setting where everyone can benefit from each other’s company.
