See what it looks like
More than a nomad festival
AP on why this is about belonging somewhere, not just working from anywhere.
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.
The full talks schedule
Three mornings, 10:00 to 12:45, each closing with a panel.
Topics and times are confirmed as they land. More speakers to be announced.
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.
Workshop: Between Us, Beyond Our Stories
Sept 24 · 2:00–4:00 PM · Anusarn Sanpakoi, Classroom
Meeting people past the stories we arrive with, and the small, deliberate practices that turn a passing introduction into something worth staying for.
Workshop detailsWorkshop: Thailand Bean-to-Bar Chocolate
Sept 24 and 25 · 2:00–3:30 PM · Siamaya Chocolate Factory Shop

Workshop detailsWorkshop: Digital Accessibility And Inclusivity Master Class From Business To Tech with Claude
Sept 24 · 2:00–3:30 PM · Alt_PingRiver, Bella Goose Cafe
Accessibility as a business and technical advantage, not a compliance checklist. Try assistive technologies on your own devices and leave with production-ready AI skill files that audit and test any live project.
Workshop detailsProblem-to-Prototype
Sept 24 · 2:00–3:30 PM · Mövenpick Suriwongse, Navarat 1-2, 3rd Floor
Bring a real problem into the room and leave with a solution you can test. Sharpen the problem, narrow the idea, build a prototype with AI-assisted tools. No coding background required.
Workshop detailsWorkshop: Building Honest Brands in a Synthetic World
Sept 25 · 2:00–4:00 PM · Anusarn Sanpakoi, Classroom
Using AI as a creative thinking partner to find what makes a brand distinctive, human and true: its story, values, voice, visual direction and real differentiation.
Workshop detailsWorkshop: Coffee Ecosystem in Northern Thailand (Bella Goose)
Sept 25 · 2:00–4:00 PM · Alt_PingRiver, Bella Goose Cafe
Follow a coffee bean from the tree to your cup, learn what specialty, washed and direct trade really mean, and taste coffees from Thailand and around the world.

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.

ดูรายละเอียดเพิ่มเติม →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 Horizon Village & Resort, 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.
