What Is Cosmo Local CNX?
A 4-Week Pop-Up Village in Chiang Mai
Four 4-week coliving experiences running in parallel. Each with its own theme, its own mentors, and its own mix of global and local participants.
They converge on the Main Week (Sept 23–28): six days of shared events, showcases, and cross-track collisions where everything that was built during the month comes alive.
This is an intentional gathering.
We bring two worlds into the same room , global talent and Chiang Mai locals, with facilitators to hold the space. Not to run panels at each other. To actually co-create something. A month is long enough to go past the surface. What comes out of that is part of what makes this a beautiful social experiment.
