The Nomadx Foundation began only with live, in-person summits in 2015. Events that look like a small version of SXSW, but instead of the corporate production, the happenings are by local creative companies, groups, and other non-profit groups, led by the Nomadx Foundation's core team. The events take place in multiple spaces, there are creative panels, workshops, keynote conversations, a creative mentorship market, live art, and great concerts. All the Nomadx Foundation's summits are free or inexpensive to attendees.
There have been 16 live in-person summits with local creative companies, artists, and even some of the world's most inspiring minds. Since 2015 thought leaders like Steve Wozniak, Tony Hawk, Rodney Mullen, Bjarke Ingels, and Doug Ellin have graced the Nomadx stages, sharing their experience with local creative communities and giving back to the creatives of the future.
During the 2020 pandemic, Nomadx started experimenting with digital events, adding the format to the format repertoire.
Starting in 2023, all in-person events will be geared toward content generation and digital amplification; this hybrid model will replace traditional in-person events, where content will be available on Nomadx’s digital channels, and in-person attendees can experience a complete experience.
100% Digital events are also being designed. The main difference between Hybrid and Digital events will be that the Digital events will be industry or field-specific. In contrast, the hybrid events will be more centered around specific geographical communities.
