In partnership with Bansko Nomad Fest

Coliving Gathering is coming to the mountains.

In 2026, we’re bringing coliving founders, operators, community builders, and innovators together in Bansko right alongside one of the world’s largest nomad events.

This year, Coliving Gathering is proudly organized by Coliving Hub and hosted in partnership with Bansko Nomad Fest (BNF).

Three focused days. Deep conversations. Real collaboration. No fluff.

Why Bansko?

For one week every June, Bansko becomes the global capital of remote work and location independence. Hundreds of nomads, founders, and creators gather for BNF and now, the coliving industry will have its own dedicated space within this powerful ecosystem.

By aligning with BNF, we combine:

• The intimacy and depth of a niche industry gathering
• The energy and scale of a global nomad festival
• Access to founders, operators, investors, and future residents
