The Cross Border Coworking Conference (CBCC): Digital Nomads Edition 2024, held from October 9 to 11, 2024, in Mostar, brought together over 100 participants from various parts of the world. This event, dedicated to digital nomads, coworking communities, and the future of remote work, was filled with vibrant energy.
The conference program was diverse and dynamic, featuring interactive workshops and panel discussions that explored modern trends in remote work, entrepreneurship, and coworking. Participants had the opportunity to meet representatives from six coworking spaces from the region and hear inspiring examples of coliving projects from Italy. Throughout the program, speakers from different parts of the world stood out, offering valuable advice and experiences to all attendees.
A special highlight of the first day was a session that showcased the region’s attractions and explained why it is an ideal environment for digital nomads. Eight different workshops were held, covering a range of relevant and current topics aimed at various target groups—from tips on effectively promoting services, the challenges of the digital nomad lifestyle, and the importance of staying focused on personal goals and self-evaluation, to tricks for finding the ideal remote job, managing taxes and visas, and dealing with regional legislation for long-term stays.
On the second day, participants enjoyed a trip to Fortica, where they took in breathtaking views of Mostar. Following that, the relaxed atmosphere continued at Park Goranci, where a stand-up session presented life in the region from a digital nomad’s perspective, providing a perfect conclusion to the conference program. The day ended with a “BBQ and chill” session in a beautiful natural setting.
The conference concluded with an evening celebration, offering participants the perfect opportunity to connect further and celebrate the new friendships and business opportunities that emerged during the event. In a relaxed atmosphere, accompanied by great music and laughter, memories were created that attendees will carry with them for a long time. It was a night filled with positive energy, where informal interactions strengthened connections between colleagues from around the world, marking not just the end of the conference, but the beginning of new collaborations and ideas.
