Last year was the first annual International Freelancers Day, a day to recognize freelancers with a fantastic FREE online conference. Yes, I said free. Totally and completely. And this conference offers big names providing some extremely informative sessions. Did I mention it's free?
About International Freelancers Day and Its Founder
International Freelancers Day is a day to celebrate freelancers and independent professionals. The event was founded by Ed Gandia, my own personal freelancing guru. Ed is a super nice guy with a tremendous amount of practical knowledge on the subject of freelancing. He's the co-author of The Wealthy Freelancer: 12 Secrets to a Great Income and an Enviable Lifestyle, and he knows his stuff when it comes to transitionaling to the world of freelancing. I first "met" Ed online when starting this blog, and he has always been a source of support and motivation to me in my freelance career.
The Online Conference
The free online conference takes place throughout the day on September 23rd, from 10:00 am until 7:00 pm EST. You can watch sessions on all kinds of information relevant to freelancers like what to charge, being productive, keys to self-promotion, outsourcing and attracting clients. Well-known professionals including Peter Bowerman, Michael Martine, Mike Steizner and Chris Garret will be presenting. Check out the full line-up at the International Freelancers Day website.
Free Professional Development
This event is a once in a lifetime chance to receive quality professional development specifically for freelancers. And all this information is free from the comfort of your own home. No conference registration fee, no travel costs. You absolutely cannot go wrong. Though the conference is free, you do have to register. Just stop by the website and fill out the registration, then you're in. It's that simple!
I hope you can attend because I need you to take good notes for me. I was recently asked to take part in a charity event that has me really excited. There's not much I would've missed this for, but the chance to give to Habitat for Humanity is one of thos things. So be sure to let me know what I miss. I'm counting on you!
