On this week's episode of ‘The Events Podcast’ I spoke with
Stuart Jones. Stuart runs a series of entrepreneurial retreats in
cool locations called coworkation and just ran his first
conference Freedom X Fest in the Spanish Pyrenees which lasted 6
days and had over 400 attendees!


Stuart came to Europe from Australia as a backpacker and started
off in Spain where he had a lot of adventures; from turning his
apartment into a ‘pop up hostel’ to running pub crawls then
guided trips to Oktoberfest amongst other destinations.


Stuart focussed on getting a good database of companies selling
products to the digital nomad/location independent community in
order to get them to co promote his events and/or become
sponsors.


Stuart maintains an active Facebook page which has over 18,000
likes and shares a lot of photos and content there to build
interest in his events. He talked about how he uses YouTube and
Instagram to promote his events as the cool locations lend
themselves well to this type of visual marketing.
