Remote Alba Fest 2025

Remote Alba Fest 2025 was a bold, grassroots celebration of remote work, creativity and community – designed to bring people together, spark ideas and showcase what’s possible with a small budget and a big vision.

What made it special:

  • Brought together freelancers, creatives, founders and the remote-curious in a welcoming, informal setting.

  • Led by Nomad Alba’s founder Bianca, in partnership with Code Division.

  • Pulled off by a small, passionate team with just £10,000 from Glasgow City Council.

  • Hands-on workshops covering social media, data, creative thinking and communication.

  • Sessions on freelancing, side-hustles and navigating remote career paths.

  • Collaboration at its core – designed to spark real conversations and new projects.

  • Grounded in local culture – Glasgow’s energy, history and talent took centre stage.

  • A mix of chill and playful experiences:

    • Sound baths and creative ‘Imagineer’ sessions

    • Incredible food by Soul Food Sisters

    • Comedy and music from An Dannsa Dub

It wasn’t your average conference – no lanyards, no awkward icebreakers. Just people, ideas, good vibes, and a shared belief in the future of remote work.

It's free.'
