Build with Chiang Mai, not just around it.
The Thai × Nomad Builders Track is CosmoLocal CNX's hands-on bridge between local Thai talent and international builders.
Across Main Week, ShakeSphere is creating practical ways for both communities to meet, form teams, build together, and turn conversations into real collaboration.
Builders Camp
Sept 23–25, 2026 · Chiang Mai
Builders Camp is a 3-day build experience where Thai and international participants form mixed teams, explore real problems, create prototypes, test them with users, and pitch what they build.
Come without a team. Come without an idea. You do not need to be technical.
The point is simple: different backgrounds, one team, something real built together.
Orientation and team formation, Sept 23 at 1:00 PM, The First Church of Chiang Mai (Chanpeng Hall). Hear the ideas, meet the people, leave in a team.
A way in for Thai talent
We want more Thai talent to be able to access the people, learning and opportunities inside Main Week.
ShakeSphere is supporting up to 20 qualified Thai applicants with full scholarships. If the full-scholarship quota is filled, eligible applicants can still receive a 50% subsidy on the Local Pass, with ShakeSphere covering the other half.

Problem-to-Prototype
Sept 24 · 2:00–3:30 PM · The Pantip Lifestyle Hub, 2nd Floor
Already have a Main Week pass but not joining the full Builders Camp? Bring a real problem into the room and leave with a solution you can test.
Most ideas fail long before the prototype, because the problem was never clear enough in the first place. ShakeSphere will take you through a practical process for sharpening a problem, deciding what really needs testing, and using AI-assisted tools to turn an idea into something tangible.
No coding background required. Bring a problem you care about, or join someone else's.
What you'll do
- Frame a problem clearly enough to act on
- Turn assumptions into questions worth testing
- Generate and narrow solution ideas
- Build a rapid prototype using AI, vibe-coding and no-code tools where useful
- Identify what to test next with real users
Who it's for
Founders, designers, developers, marketers, operators, students, creators, and anyone who wants a faster way to turn a problem into something tangible.
Host: ShakeSphere. The session is part of the 3-day Builders Camp, and you are welcome to join just the workshop.

CosmoLocal already brings local and global communities into the same city. This track is about going one step further: putting them in the same teams, around the same problems, doing real work together.
The goal is not just a good event. It is stronger connections, more confidence, new projects, and more pathways between Thai talent and global opportunities.
