Our Venue
Ohori Park, our “central park” in Fukuoka, etc…
While we call it a conference, simply using a meeting room wouldn’t do justice to your visit to Japan. Instead, we’ll gather in Ohori Park, Fukuoka’s most beloved park, and hear inspiring talks from digital nomad leaders worldwide in the prestigious Noh Theater, a traditional Japanese stage for performing arts. Reflecting Japan’s deep sense of tradition and discipline, all speakers will take the stage wearing white tabi socks( we can’t even put the screen on the stage…!😳), adding to the formal atmosphere of this iconic venue as we discuss the future of the digital nomad movement.
Meanwhile, CUasia will take place in a former school classroom, now transformed into an art space, keeping the creative energy alive! In the evenings, we’ll unwind with a barbecue in the park, and on the third day, we’ll head to the beach for a seaside BBQ as a closing party.
Breathe in the fresh air and immerse yourself in Fukuoka's perfect harmony of nature and urban life. This is not just a conference — it’s a chance to experience the unique spirit of Japan while building the future of the digital nomad community.
