This year’s theme:
Dear Tribe,
As we look ahead, we find ourselves at a pivotal moment. Not just within our community, but across the globe. After thoughtful consideration, we’ve decided not to host NOMADNESS Fest in 2025.
While this news may be disappointing, it opens a new chapter for us, one deeply committed to storytelling with Evita Robinson.
NOMADNESS FEST IS A WEEKEND FOR TRAVELERS OF COLOR, AND OUR ALLIES! BRINGING OUR STORIES, LEADERS, RESOURCES, AND COMMUNITY TOGETHER IN ONE PLACE
Through our festival, we journey to various cities and curate the travel industry’s most honest and communal conversations on what it is like to navigate the world as a person of color. Each year’s theme is intentionally based on the climate of our culture and our needs and desires as travelers.
The Future is Ours:
Reimagining BIPOC Travel
2024 is the year we’re curating the space and conversation around reimagining BIPOC travel, for the future. There is no getting away from the conversations on how things like AI and media influence our industry. There’s a growing conversation around creating and sustaining community. 2024 we’ll be handing the stage over to television hosts, content creators, representatives at some of the biggest travel tech companies, and travelers on the ground, so we see what’s at the front of mind (and screen) for the future of travel. Can’t wait to see you in Charlotte!

2024 Festival Tracks & Schedule
Leisure: This track is our ‘go to’ for highlighting destinations and their offerings as well as covering the interests of our leisure travelers — from a novice needing help getting a visa to an avid traveler planning out their bucket list destination.
Community Impact: In a world focused on what’s next and how fast tech can alter the future, it will still never supersede the need for true community. Whether international or local, in person or online, we sit with a number of known travel community leaders and explore what it takes to sustain, grow, and cultivate true community impact within tourism.
Media & Tech: From AI, scaling travel communities, to content creators turned travel show hosts — media and tech aren’t going anywhere. The future is now, and we dictate the role that BIPOC culture plays in the process. This track explores all forms of media and tech and how it intersects with tourism and culture.
