A good night in Ljubljana for the inaugural Dubrovnik Digital Nomads-in-Residence program which picked up two awards at Conventa 2021.
It was the world’s first such project, a digital nomad-in-residence program which brought 10 nomads from around the world together for 4 weeks in Dubrovnik, to live and work their normal lifestyle, while also working with the city, tourist board and local community to co-create strategies to better position Dubrovnik to cater to the growing digital nomad demand.
The project attracted considerable media attention, both nationally and internationally, and now it can add its first international awards to its portfolio after a successful nights in the Slovenian capital at Conventa 2021.
