FreedomXFest is the first outdoor festival/conference gathering the key players of the location independent movement and 1,000+ attendees.

There will be speakers from Escape the City, TimeDoctor, Doist, Facebook, E-Residency, CrossOver, and other organizations.
And because it’s a festival that celebrates the remote lifestyle, then why not be in a remote setting? The festival takes place in a remote village in the Spanish Pyrenees for the exclusive use of the event.
