What do you get when you cross 5 star luxury in the world’s most exotic locations, wicked parties that put Burning Man to shame and cutting-edge strategies for making a bucket load of cash as you spend your days travelling?

Anywhere between “a heck of a lot of fun” and “a seriously awesome life that everyone you know is insanely jealous of”!

For digital nomads the world over, gone are the days of suits, ties and soul-sucking 9–5 careers. This year, nomads like you have the opportunity to be a part of awesome and inspiring events designed for those who live life to the fullest.

Here are the 5 events of 2017 that should be at the top of every nomad’s list.

1. Digital Marketing Skill Share (DMSS): October 28–29 (Seminyak, Bali) from $177 USD*

If there’s only one event that you choose to attend this year, make it DMSS.

It combines 5-star luxury, ridiculous amounts of fun and expert level training for beginners and seasoned professionals alike. Tickets start from as little as $177 USD*.

Proven by their no bullshit approach and dedication to sharing top insider secrets, the DMSS team are cutting no corners when it comes to quality. Their primary focus is in sharing best practices and digital marketing hacks geared toward success.

Make no mistake though, this isn’t another one of those run-of-the-mill conference events.

In between the talks, adventure awaits, as do unique networking and collaboration experiences, bringing together over 500 participants.

And, if that’s not enough, you can also choose to get more out of your stay in Bali. There’s an additional “networkation” following the weekend event where you can explore more of the island and connect directly with the speakers and other participants.

At such an affordable price point, who can say no to such a value-filled opportunity?

2. DNX Camp: November 13–26 (Dahab, Egypt) from 997 € *

If a more focused co-working experience is what you’re after, DNX Camps is the place to look. Essentially, they are like 2 week boot camps for digital nomads and entrepreneurs.

While these events don’t offer access to the same level of expert speakers as DMSS does, they facilitate meaningful networking connections by restricting the group size and carefully selecting participants of each event.

Accommodation and some food is included in the ticket price as are a number of adventure opportunities, parties and other activities.

If you’re seeking the opportunity to just work on your business and add some fun to the mix, DNX camps are right up your alley.

3. Nomad Cruise: Sep 25 — Oct 8 (Spain to Panama) from 700 € *

For the adventurous and fun loving nomads out there, the Nomad Cruise is the one for you.

Imagine yourself on a boat with 150 other like-minded people having the time of your lives as you cruise through the Atlantic Ocean, exploring one exotic island to the next.

For all the fun and adventure this experience boasts, you can also be sure that you’ll have opportunities to join thought provoking masterminds and workshops.

Better yet, the ticket price includes accommodation, meals and free drinks!

Nomad Cruise, Spain — Panama

4. Project Getaway: October 1–31 (Bali) from $1950 USD *

Project Getaway offers a full immersion experience for 2–4 weeks. Say goodbye to the stresses of daily life and say hello to a few weeks of being spoiled rotten.

Imagine DNX Camps taken to the next level, offering ultimate luxury. A small group of entrepreneurs working on their businesses while also being treated to weekly massages, adventure activities, private chefs — heck, even having laundry taken care of!

This is a not-for-profit initiative, giving back to the Balinese community every step of the way making it all the more enticing for the philanthropists at heart.

The organisers of Project Getaway have really thought about all the ways they can remove the daily logistical annoyances that interrupt one’s flow so you can drop into a state of peak performance and channel that into any project you are working on this year.

5. A-Fest: Nov 9–12 (Montego, Jamaica) from $4000 USD *

Having been described as a unique combination of TED level inspiration and parties that put Burning Man to shame, A-Fest is certainly one for every digital nomad’s bucket list.

There are 2 events running every year on an invite-only basis. Even though there are over 1000 spots available, the events sell out like crazy — so better get your applications in quick!

Even though A-Fest isn’t targeted toward digital nomads per se, it is a highly transformational event you’re likely to remember for the rest of your life. Yes, it comes with a hefty price (revealed only after you apply to join the event) but it seems to be worth every cent.

Conclusion:

So there you have it. The 5 most exotic events for digital nomads in 2017.

My top choice is DMSS due to its commitment in offering a high quality experience targeted to digital nomads while also keeping the rates affordable.

If you’re looking for a longer, immersion style experience and have some money saved up for it, Project Getaway would be the one to go with. Weekly massages and private chefs — how can you say no to that?
