Vibe
Builder-heavy rather than lifestyle-heavy — the organiser puts it plainly: "This isn't a lifestyle festival." January is dry season, 20–30°C days and cooler evenings around 15°C.

About
Running since 2015, for founders, freelancers, investors and operators. Ten days in all: a welcome evening on January 15, two conference days (January 16–17) at the Shangri-La Hotel Chiang Mai, a 48-hour Buildathon that pairs attendees with local Thai developers and designers, then Nomad Week (January 18–24), seven days of side events any ticket holder can host — 56 of them across 20+ venues in 2026. Accommodation not included — book separately; many attendees stay at the Shangri-La, and Chiang Mai has guesthouses and boutique hotels within reach of the venue.
