The First Digital Nomad Conference in Japan is Finally Here!

From October 23rd to 25th, the World Nomad Conference will take place at Colive Fukuoka, promising three exciting days of networking and learning. This event marks a significant milestone as the first large-scale nomad gathering in Asia organized and hosted by the local community. Previously, most nomad events in Asia were orchestrated by Western digital nomads. Our slogan, “Co-create and Celebrate a Global Community in Asia,” embodies our mission to bridge Asian and Western cultures, celebrate diversity, and build a unified community. We warmly invite all participants to join us on this unique journey!

Three key experiences: the World Nomad Conference in Colive Fukuoka offers

1️⃣Listen and learn from Speaker’s talks

This event is a one-of-a-kind opportunity, gathering over 40 top leaders in the digital nomad space from around the world. You’ll hear talks from government officials and experts involved in digital nomad visas, and see exclusive panel discussions featuring professionals in the digital nomad community. Don’t miss out on the valuable insights from corporate sponsors, as well as the personal stories and experiences shared by seasoned nomads from various backgrounds. (More details on the program will follow in the next section.)

2️⃣Facilitate your topics at the Unconference

In addition to listening, you’ll have the chance to create your own discussions by joining our “Unconference” sessions. In a relaxed, informal setting at the park lounge, participants can propose and host workshops on any topic they wish to discuss. To join, simply write down your proposed topic on the whiteboard inside the conference venue. Let’s co-create the conference experience together!

What is the Unconference: Anyone can submit topics they’dlike to discuss, and others who are interested or have input are welcome to join the conversation. There’s no set agenda or big goal to reach; it’s more about letting the conversation flow naturally. Host team doesn’t plan any topics ahead of time, so we’re looking for you to share what you’d like to talk about. In the digital nomad community, it’s not just the people on stage who matter — everyone gets a chance to shine. We can’t wait to hear your ideas, so don’t hesitate to submit your topics!

3️⃣Explore the Sponsor Booths

More than 12 sponsors partners have prepared booths to engage with attendees. Be sure to visit the Traditional Theater and explore the exhibits at each booth!

Participating sponsors include:

Lenovo (Microsoft), Nulab, Global Agents, EXS Capital Asia Limited, Hyuga City, Kanmon Nomad, Shimoda, MDEC, Kyushu, JDNA, DID-Global, Homii, and more.
