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.

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.
