30 April – 9 May 2027 · El Nido, Palawan
The Nomad Festival in Paradise
Connect, share, make friends and have fun with 150 digital nomads, entrepreneurs and remote workers on the most beautiful island in the Philippines.
What Do People Think?
Nomads in Paradise was one of the most enriching experiences of my year. I came for the conference, but I left with a completely new professional network, incredible friends, and memories that I'll carry for life.
I met my future business partner on day two. By the end of the week we had a signed agreement. That's the kind of magic that happens at NIP — you simply can't manufacture it online.
As someone who travels solo, I was nervous about attending. Within one hour I felt completely at home. The community is so warm and welcoming — it's unlike any event I've been to.
The talks were world class, the island was jaw-dropping, and the people were the best I've met in years of nomad life. NIP sets the bar for what a digital nomad event should be.
Why Nomads in Paradise?
More than a conference. An experience that combines professional growth, adventure, and island life.

Why El Nido?
El Nido sits on Palawan’s limestone coast: lagoons, beaches, and a small town. Late April into May is clear-water season. NIP 2027 is here from 30 April to 9 May.
Networking & Connections
El Nido town is small, so you keep seeing the same people through the day. Conversations start easily and friendships form fast. Beaches and resorts outside town are a tricycle ride.
Coworking in the Tropics
The venue is there for working during the programme. Speeds on a small island vary, and your stay may be slower than the venue. Ask before you book if you need calls from your room.
Food, Drinks & Party
El Nido’s restaurant scene punches well above its size — fresh seafood, Filipino cooking, and a nightlife that stays small and social.
Island Hopping
Explore the surrounding islands by boat — crystal lagoons, hidden sandbars, and thriving marine life. The island hopping tour is one of the most memorable days of the event.
* Included in the Gold Ticket
Magic Nature
Limestone cliffs, hidden lagoons, and sunsets over the bay. El Nido’s landscape is the reason people plan a trip around it.
The Bay
Boat days, lagoons, and beaches a short ride from town. Island hopping is included with the Gold ticket.
