About
Opportunity for socialising and networking through discussion on a current topic
The Cross Border Coworking Conference, held successfully for the first time last year, is coming back in the 2022! On Monday, 10th October and Tuesday, 11th October 2022, regional and global experts will gather at Jahorina Mountain to participate in a number of lectures, workshops, and panel discussions on the region’s potential in attracting digital nomads. The Conference will deal with the needs of digital nomads, as well as the region’s potential in meeting those needs. This year’s novelty are the workshops for discussion about the digital nomads’ impressions and coworking as a tool for community development. The conference will also take a look at the relationships between digital nomads and local people, as well as the relations among countries in the region that can work jointly on attracting digital nomads.
The event is organised by the INTERA Technology Park (Mostar, BiH), Innovation and Entrepreneurship Centre Tehnopolis (Nikšić, Montenegro), and Proaktiv (Niš, Serbia) within the Cross Border Coworking Cooperation project, funded by the Western Balkans Fund and the European Union under the Call for regional project proposals: “Support to the Promotion of Civil Society regional activities in the Western Balkans“.
