Adriatic Nomads is the first digital nomad festival on the coast of South Albania. Over four days in Himara and Dhërmi, it brings the global remote-work community together with the people who actually live here.
We open in mid-April, just before the Riviera's season begins. That timing is deliberate. It brings visitors, visibility and spend to the coast at the quietest point in its year, and it gives our guests the place at its best — warm, uncrowded, and entirely itself.
Expect talks and workshops through the day, long dinners and sea swims around them, and a closing weekend that runs from a sunset beach party to coffee and a sound system at first light.
Albania's southern coast has the water, the food and the warmth of the Mediterranean's best-known destinations — without the crowds or the prices. It is one of the last stretches of European coastline that still feels like a discovery.
Nomad festivals have proven the model elsewhere in the Balkans. None has yet claimed this coast. Adriatic Nomads is the first, and the partners who join now come in on the ground floor.
Speakers are announced from November 2026. A launch event that month opens ticket sales and the ambassador programme.
We programme for range, not for résumés. The stage is open to operators, builders, researchers and practitioners who have done the thing they're talking about — whether that's running a distributed company, funding a life abroad, or building something where they landed.
Sessions run 20 to 40 minutes, with workshop slots available for anything hands-on. Applications open now and close in January 2027. We confirm the full programme in February.
We also run a small ambassador programme for four people who want to bring their own community along. Mention it in your application.
Full access covers both festival days, the workshops, every evening, the gala dinner and the closing weekend. Prices move up in stages between now and April, so the earlier you commit, the less you pay.
Full access reaches €360 at standard price. The community rate tracks it at half, so it rises with each release too — and the allocation is capped. Write to us before booking.
Rather than shared banner space, Adriatic Nomads offers the experiences themselves. Each one carries your name, is introduced from the stage, and is remembered as yours long after the festival ends. Every package can be met in cash, in kind, or a combination.
The festival's centrepiece evening, seated on the coast, carrying your name from the invitation to the toast.
An entire evening — reception, activity and drinks — under a single name, for a partner who wants more than one moment.
Golden hour on the water, and the most photographed moment of the whole festival.
Our signature dawn moment on the beach — small, distinctive, and impossible to forget.
Covers one international speaker's travel and fee. Their session carries your name, with a private meet-and-greet.
For local businesses. Rooms, meals, transport or produce in exchange for named partnership and passes to share with your own network.
Around twenty packages are available in total, from coffee breaks and shuttles to whole-festival partnerships.
Whether you want a ticket, a partnership, or a speaking slot — the earliest conversations shape the festival most.
