In this special episode of the Nomad Summit Podcast, it’s just the three of us – Christoph, Alexandra, and Palle Bo– talking about what’s coming up at Nomad Summit 2026 in Chiang Mai this January.

We go behind the scenes of the flagship event, share how the program is shaping up, and reveal why you should book your ticket now before prices rise on October 15. We also discuss new formats we’re considering, local partnerships, and what makes the Chiang Mai Summit such a cornerstone for the global nomad community.

And because Nomad Summit is about more than just us, we also highlight the Foundation for the Education of Rural Children (FERC) – a non-profit organization in Northern Thailand that gives students from low-income families the opportunity to finish secondary school. In Thailand, education is only covered until age 15, leaving many families unable to afford uniforms, supplies, meals, and transport. FERC steps in with scholarships and support that break the cycle of poverty by helping students stay in school and build a brighter future.
