12+ events every month. Across Asheville, Hendersonville, and beyond. Almost all of them free.
ADN events are not networking events with awkward small talk. They are genuine gatherings of interesting people who happen to work remotely – and have figured out that getting out of the house occasionally is good for the soul.
We know many nomads are introverted. We’ve built every event with that in mind. You’ll always know where to find us, where to park, and what to expect before you walk in the door. Showing up for the first time is the hardest part. We make everything after that easy.
All events are managed through Meetup. RSVP, event details, and directions all live there.
Four times a year ADN goes all out. These are the ones nomads clear their calendars for.
The event that started it all. A full participation potluck that has become ADN’s most beloved tradition. Bring a dish, bring your appetite, and prepare to leave with a group of people you’ll actually want to see again at the holidays. This is the event that launched our Slack workspace. That’s how good it is.
ADN turns another year older and throws a party about it. Celebrating how far this community has come and everyone who helped build it. Equal parts celebration and reunion.
ADN’s end of year celebration. The room is always full, the energy is always high, and it’s the perfect reminder of why you joined in the first place.
Exactly what it sounds like and better than you’re imagining. ADN’s most unique flagship event puts entrepreneurially minded nomads center stage in a format that is equal parts hilarious and genuinely inspiring. Not to be missed.
Monthly · One World West Brewing · $10

Monthly · Hatch Coworking · $10
Just honest conversation with people doing interesting things. Leadership on Tap brings together ADN’s most entrepreneurially minded nomads for the kind of discussion that used to happen in corner offices. Now it happens over drinks at Hatch Coworking.

Monthly · Rotating venues · Free
The flagship monthly gathering. High energy, open format, and reliably full of new faces and familiar ones. If you’re attending your first ADN event, this is a great place to start. We’ll find you.
Monthly · Rotating Asheville venues · Free
A little more dressed up than your average day. Classy Cocktails rotates through some of Asheville’s best bars and restaurants, bringing ADN’s energy and spending to new venues across the region. Come for the drinks. Stay for the conversation.
Monthly · Battery Park Book Exchange · Free
Quieter. Smaller. Equally worth your Tuesday. ADN’s Book Club meets at one of Asheville’s most beloved independent bookstores for conversation that goes well beyond the pages.
Hosted at Battery Park Book Exchange
AVL Digital Nomads calendar is constantly growing thanks to organizers who show up with new ideas. Recent additions have included community service days, collaborative learning circles, coworking sessions and more. The best way to stay current is to follow ADN on Meetup.
There’s no wrong first event. Seriously.
We’re very aware that walking into a room full of strangers — even friendly ones — takes courage. Every ADN event description includes directions, parking information, and a clear sense of what to expect when you arrive. Our organizers are easy to spot and genuinely happy to make introductions.
The Large Social is a natural first choice for its open, easy format. But if AI Hacks & Hops or Book Club sounds more like your speed, start there. The community is the same regardless of which door you walk through first.
