    Keynotes & Talks

    What Makes Me Hire 1 Candidate and Reject 200 Others

    Most candidates never find out why they didn't get the offer — because the person who decided never tells them. Julien is on the other side of that table: US companies pay him to make the call, and in his keynote he reveals exactly what tips the decision and how to become the candidate he'd choose.

    The Missing Link in Remote Success: Cultural Intelligence in Leadership and Hiring

    Companies invest heavily in tools and workflows, yet many distributed teams still struggle with trust and misalignment. Renita unpacks why cultural intelligence is the missing edge — both for leaders hiring across borders and for nomads competing in a global market.

    Remote Work in Seasons: The Secret Powers of IRL and How to Measure Them

    The best distributed teams aren't purely remote — they're strategic about when and how they bring people together in person. Gina covers how to design IRL moments with intention and measure their ROI, with hands-on tips for offsite strategy and execution.

    Rooted and Remote: Migration, Belonging, and the Future of Location-Independent Work

    The remote work movement has a word for freedom. It doesn't have one for belonging. Ángela-Jo draws on 25 years of designing integration programs for immigrant and refugee communities to explore what rootedness actually requires — and what it means for anyone living and working across borders.

    Remote Work Ready: Build Your Online Presence with AI

    Most people looking for remote work don't have a skills problem — they have a visibility problem. Patrick covers how to use AI to audit your existing skills, shape your story, and build a personal brand that gets you noticed for remote opportunities.

    From Employee to Remote Operator: Building a Career and a Company Across Borders

    In 2018, Beatriz turned down a promotion and went remote with less than €1,000 in her bank account. No roadmap, no community. Her session maps what it actually took — finding clients, building systems, and growing something of her own alongside it.

    From Homeless to Running a Remote Agency With AI

    18 months ago, Adam was homeless in Las Vegas. Now he runs a remote agency from Thailand using AI — and he's bringing the exact workflows, client strategies, and collaboration methods that took him from rock bottom to nearly $25K in his first five months.

    Workshops

    Workshop

    People Engagement in Remote Teams: Keeping People Inspired

    Most remote team-building conversations stay at the level of theory. Lina spent years as a People Manager at Amazon Logistics actually doing it, and her workshop skips the intro to go straight into hands-on group work — leaving attendees with concrete solutions for keeping distributed teams engaged, developing skills, and retaining the people worth keeping.

    Workshop

    Three Pillars of Remote Productivity: SSOT, Async-First, and Notion

    Remote productivity is a systems problem, not a tools problem. Lauri shows how single-source-of-truth documentation and async-first rituals outperform on speed and onboarding — and how to implement them practically inside Notion.

    Workshop

    Remote Readiness: A Framework for Improving and Demonstrating Your Hireability

    The technical infrastructure of remote work is solved — the competency gap is the problem nobody has mapped clearly enough to act on. Maya's workshop runs participants through a live Remote Readiness assessment across her 5Cs framework (Culture, Communication, Console, Collaboration, and Connection), identifies where their gap is largest, and ends with a written action plan tied directly into a real remote job search strategy.

    Transition to Remote Work Without Wrecking Your Life – The Roadmap That Didn't Exist When I Needed It

    Most people start their remote work journey in the wrong place. Drawing from her own experience making this transition twice, Jess walks you through a practical roadmap for moving into location-independent work — intentionally, and without blowing up the career you've built.

    Workshop

    Remote Work Didn't Kill Culture, It Just Exposed Yours

    Remote work didn't kill your culture — it just exposed whether you ever had one. Mike breaks down what remote-native companies actually do differently: the invisible habits that build trust across time zones, and how to stop mistaking proximity for cohesion.

    Nomad Week

    Seven Days,
    Infinite Possibilities

    After the conference, the community takes over. Nomad Week Tallinn runs July 6–12 — a week of attendee-organized events across the city. Dinners, city walks, co-working sessions, workshops, and experiences that you won't find on any official agenda. Anyone with a ticket can host an event.

    It's the part of Nomad Summit that people talk about for years after. The conversations that start at a rooftop bar and turn into co-founders, clients, and lifelong friends.

    01

    Position your skills

    For remote opportunities — whether that's landing a remote role or packaging your expertise as a freelancer.

    Remote employment, freelancing, contracting. Different paths to the same freedom — we'll help you figure out which fits you best.

    Cross-border tax, business registration, getting paid internationally. The unglamorous details that actually make remote work work.

    04

    Avoid the traps

    Remote job scams, fake listings, bad platforms, and the 'sell courses to sell courses' circuit. We keep it real.

    05

    Connect with people who've done it

    Not influencers. Real remote workers, hiring managers, freelancers, and founders who'll share what actually worked for them.

    06

    Leave with a plan

    Not just inspiration, but concrete next steps for your situation.

    What Makes This Different

    This isn't a nomadfest.

    We're not here to sell you a lifestyle. The programme is focused on professional development and practical skills.

    We're also not running a traditional job fair. Instead, we're bringing hiring managers, remote-first company leaders, and employment experts to the stage to share how they actually recruit, what they look for, and how you can stand out.

    Workshops where you actually do the work

    Build your CV, audit your skills, plan your next steps.

    Panels with hiring managers

    From remote-first companies — hear how they actually recruit.

    Practical sessions on tools and platforms

    That make remote work sustainable.

    Networking that matters

    Real conversations with people who've built remote careers, not just collected passport stamps.
