Freelancers Unite In Gauteng

Freelancentral (after my post regarding Apple) has sent me a press release about a get-together that they are hosting.From the Freelancentral press release:

When: Thursday 24 May 2007, 5.30-8.30pmWhere: Longmeadow Piano Lounge , Fourways (opposite Montecasino).What: Come and meet freelancers and clients, swap business cards, make connections. This will also be the official launch of Freelancentral Placements - a new element of our business.Cost: FREE (there is a cash bar)How to book: To get an idea of numbers, please click here to let us know to expect you, or simply come along on the day.We had 55 people at our Cape Town event in February, and if Cape Town is only a fraction of the market, we're hoping to meet loads of you on the 24th in Gauteng! Looking forward to seeing you there.

I have been down the freelancing road before and it is a tough lifestyle to lead. I really do support events such as these as I believe in networking and touching base with people in real life, face to face. Get down to the venue, send through your RSVP and hook up with other freelancers.

Away all day

I will be in a sales conference for the whole of Thursday. Freelance job one has subsidised the course for me. Hopefully I will learn some interesting things regarding marketing and sales and can pass on the knowledge. Woop woop for large corporations paying freelancers to learn interesting stuff they wouldn't normally pay for!
