More than 800 digital nomads and entrepreneurs from 50 countries have arrived in Bansko for the 6th edition of Bansko Nomad Fest – one of the biggest international events for remote workers.
The festival, which is on until 29 June, offers a programme combining career development with culture - with daily lectures on entrepreneurship and digital skills, yoga sessions overlooking Mount Pirin, networking formats and startup demonstrations, as well as unforgettable evenings with jam sessions at the mineral pools. 
Bansko Nomad Fest is key to turning this winter ski resort into a yea-round destination, the organizers say. Through the years Bansko has evolved into a favourite destination for digital nomads from abroad for its affordable prices, well-developed coworking infrastructure and unique combination of mountains and all modern amenities. The local businesses actively support the event and offer special discounts and conditions to the participants, including free access to shared workspaces.
