The Nomad World Conference Comes to Porto in September 2026

Porto is set to host The Nomad World from September 10 to 13, 2026, a multi-day event aimed at founders and remote workers. Alongside a program of talks and workshops, organizers say the gathering will spill out into the city with meetups scheduled around the main sessions.

What's happening

The Nomad World runs across four days in Porto, Portugal. The core program centers on talks and workshops geared toward entrepreneurs and people who work remotely. Beyond the formal schedule, the event is designed to encourage informal connection, with meetups spread across the city for the conversations and networking that tend to follow structured sessions.

Tickets are available through the official event site, thenomadworld.org. A discount code, 20FREAKINGNOMADS, is being offered for 20% off registration.

Why Porto

Portugal has long been one of Europe's most popular bases for location-independent workers, and Porto in particular has grown into a hub for the community thanks to its walkable center, established coworking scene, and comparatively affordable cost of living within Western Europe. Hosting a nomad-focused conference there fits the city's existing draw and gives attendees an easy setting to combine the event with a longer stay.

What it means for nomads

For remote workers already in or near Portugal, this is a chance to meet peers in person without much travel. Face-to-face events remain one of the more reliable ways to build professional relationships, find collaborators, and swap practical knowledge on visas, taxes, and destinations that is hard to gather online.

If you're considering attending, plan travel and accommodation early, since September is a busy period in Porto. Booking a ticket ahead of time also locks in any available discount. Those building a business or working solo may find the mix of structured workshops and open meetups a useful way to balance learning with networking during a single trip.
