What makes Main Week
John, the founder, on the four events the week is built around.
Different backgrounds, same curiosity
Nomads and locals in one room, which is the whole point.
Caught between local and nomad
Jaem on seeing a side of Chiang Mai beyond the usual.
Where the whole month comes together
For three weeks, four coliving tracks live and build side by side, all leading to Main Week, six days of keynotes, workshops, demos, and shared meals open to everyone. Main Week is where you show up to meet people, trade ideas, and see what a month of global-meets-local collaboration actually produces.
This is for you if
You run a one person business
Six days in a room full of people solving the same problems alone, plus the talks and workshops built for exactly that.
You work with AI
Not another demo day. Workshops on agents and production workflows, and a two day hackathon building things Chiang Mai actually needs.
You are in Chiang Mai this September
The easiest way to meet the people building here, local and international, in one week instead of six months.
You are part of the local scene
Thai founders, makers, farmers and students trading ideas with people who came from the other side of the world to listen.
Hard-won lessons from people who've done the work
Three days of talks at the edges of technology, culture, and business. Come with questions.
Still Human, What AI Can't Replace in a One-Person Business
How to design a durable, profitable business without hiring, and why constraints are often the point.
What AI keeps getting wrong about culture & consciousness, and what Chiang Mai can teach it
A cultural technologist on the parts of intelligence models can't (yet) touch.
F*ck Ups, Face & the Thai Way of Doing Business
Southeast Asia's startup ecosystem builder on cultural nuance, failure, and long games.
Life Is Easy, Sustainable Living and Saving Seeds
The farmer-philosopher behind Pun Pun on food sovereignty, simplicity, and slowing down.
Gatherings big enough to stand on their own
Claude Impact Labs Hackathon
Two days of building applied AI projects that serve Chiang Mai's civic and creative communities.
Cosmo Local Pot Luck
One long table. Everyone brings a dish or a story. The village's opening-night dinner.
Solopreneur Show & Tell
Solo founders share what they're building, what's working, and what isn't, no pitches.
Nomad Futures Lab Exhibition
Prototypes, essays, and artifacts from a month of imagining what location-independent life becomes next.
Small group, high value, hands on
Sessions cap at a real number so the work stays real.
AI Foundations
The mental models and tools you need to actually use AI in your work.
Building Claude Agents
Wire up tools, context and guardrails, then leave with an agent that does real work.
Vibe Coding
Building software the way it feels good to build, playful, fast, opinionated.
Bean-to-Bar Chocolate
Roast, grind, temper. Take home a bar you made from scratch.
Coffee Ecosystem in Northern Thailand
Where the coffee in your cup actually comes from, from the hill farms to the roast.
Thai Medicine & Herbs
The plants in a Northern Thai kitchen and medicine cabinet, and what they are really for.
Mushrooms & Tea
A slow afternoon of foraging, brewing, and quiet noticing.
Money Management
A practical look at your numbers: what to track, what to ignore, and how to keep more of what you earn.
Problem-to-Prototype
Bring a real problem into the room and leave with something working.
Building a Sales Funnel
From cold traffic to closed deal, a working blueprint you can copy.
Design Thinking
A working session on framing problems well before you solve them.
Building Relationships
Small, deliberate practices for the kinds of connections that actually last.

The community teaches the community
The final day is participant-led. If you're here, you have something to share, a skill, a question, a jam session, an experiment.

A day out of town
Each runs at an additional cost, spots limited. Book in the app.

Purple Pass $350 · Gold Pass $500 · Local Pass THB 5,500
September is the start of high season in Chiang Mai. Get your pass before you book flights and a place to stay.
No. Main Week is open to everyone and a pass is all you need. The four coliving tracks run for the three weeks before it and every coliving place includes a Main Week pass, but you can buy a pass on its own and come just for the six days.
The Purple Pass gets you into everything: keynotes, workshops, unconferences and the evening community events, right through the week. The Gold Pass adds the premium experiences, priority seating at the keynotes and curated introductions. The Local Pass is the same access at a local price, for Thai residents with a valid Thai ID.
In and around Wat Ket, Chiang Mai's old riverside neighbourhood. The Claude Impact Labs Hackathon is at the Mövenpick Hotel, the Nomad Futures Lab exhibition runs all week at Punthip Plaza, the Cosmo Local Pot Luck is at the Old Chiang Mai Cultural Center, and the Solopreneur Show and Tell is at Cult Caffeine. Each event page has its own venue and time.
No. A pass covers the programme. If you want a bed as well, the four coliving tracks include accommodation for the whole month, and each track page has its packages.
The Cosmo Local Pot Luck on September 25 is a shared dinner, and the schedule leaves a lunch break on keynote days. Wat Ket is full of good, cheap food, so the rest is easy to sort on the day.
English, throughout.
Workshops are capped and RSVP opens to pass holders first, in the CosmoLocal app. Your pass gets you into Main Week either way, and most slots run more than one session.
No. The programme runs across AI, food, business and community, and the people in the room come from all four. Bring questions rather than a background.
