About Work. Place. Culture.
Welcome – to the conference which brings work from anywhere to absolutely everywhere. Join remote professionals and destinations from around the world as they inspire a global workforce who have greater location flexibility than ever before, and the destinations which are reinventing to support them through policy, infrastructure and community.
Since 2020, Dubrovnik has been host to award winning programs and events focused on remote work policy. In 2020, the city hosted Croatia’s first digital nomad conference ‘Dubrovnik for Digital Nomads’, and the world’s first Digital Nomads-in-Residence program. In 2022, the Work. Place. Culture. Conference and official Workation launch are brought to you by the same teams, slated to follow on from the success of previous events.
Croatia was the 2nd country in Europe after Estonia, and 7th in the world to offer a digital nomad visa. Dubrovnik, the pearl of the Adriatic, continues to serve as one of Europe’s key destinations – especially in leading a global dialogue focused on remote professionals and offering a platform for collaboration, co-creation, knowledge exchange and sustainable strategies. The inaugural Work. Place. Culture. Conference is an essential event to attend if you’re looking at the intersection of remote professionals and destinations in 2022! We hope you’ll join us this May in Dubrovnik.
