Bansko Nomad Fest is often described by previous attendees as an intense experience, ranking among the best times of their lives. However, it may not be the most conducive environment for productivity.
The event features numerous parallel activities running from early mornings until late evenings, so it is recommended to keep your work commitments to a minimum during the festival. You may find time to check emails occasionally, but scheduling major projects or product launches during the event is not advised. A preliminary schedule is available on the website, with frequent updates leading up to the start of the event. If you require a focused workspace, Bansko has several coworking spaces. The town also has 4G/5G coverage, making it easy to stay connected with a local SIM ard (starting at approximately €7 for a few GB). While we do not provide Wi-Fi for attendees at our venues, slower, free Wi-Fi access points can be found in the town square and at various cafes and restaurants.
