Creative Freelancer Conference Starts on August 26
HOW Magazine and our friends at Marketing Mentor, a creative industry consulting firm, are presenting a business conference for self-employed professionals in the creative field this month. It’s called the Creative Freelancer Conference and will run from August 26 – 28, 2009 at the Omni San Diego Hotel.
This event is aimed at graphic designers, copywriters, illustrators and photographers, as well as interactive, interior and industrial design professionals who are operating on their own. If you’re interested in panels, roundtables and workshops on the following topics, you should definitely consider attending:
- marketing and positioning,
- growing a freelance business,
- taking advantage of social media,
- money-saving tax solutions,
- crafting proposals and contracts,
- maintaining a work/life balance
Online registration is now available at CreativeFreelancerConference.com.
Thanks, Joel, we are busy doing last minute preparations for the conference over here at Marketing Mentor and adding a few special treats for attendees, like a sneak preview of Biznik’s new film about entrepreneurism, Shine (watch the trailer here: http://biznik.com/shine/film). Also, one of the highlights for me will be the early morning “netwalking” so bring your walking shoes! Hope to see you there!
I found out about this conference a little too late this year, but I can’t wait to attend it next year! Looks like it will be a wonderful event for freelancers of all types.
Is the conference going to make it to Houston, TX?
Something like this can be webcast. Not everyone lives in sunny san diego.
Also what is up with the forum on here, any news? Its linking to another site now
I really wanted to attend, unfortunately I can’t make my way to the US this year
I’m in DC and won’t be able to make it to San Diego. I also work during the week so I won’t be able to watch a live streaming webcast either. Could you guys please record all the sessions, workshops, forums, panel discussions, etc? Thank you!
Of course, we understand most people can’t make it to Southern California, and we will be recording the sessions for sale afterward.
But in the meantime, the recordings from the 2008 conference are available in the Marketing-Mentor-Store.com. Here’s the direct link: http://tinyurl.com/pjqeey
Oooh…$97 for last year’s recordings. Will 2009′s recordings cost just as much?
Thanks for getting back so quickly.
