Freelance Camp Santa Cruz



5 Comments

The San Francisco Bay area’s annual FreelanceCamp is coming Saturday, August 15 to a beach in gorgeous Santa Cruz!

FreelanceCamp is a community-driven conference that will connect, educate, motivate and inspire freelancers and startup entrepreneurs looking to grow a business.

  • Venue: Downtown Santa Cruz, CA
  • Date: Saturday August 15, 2009
  • Time: 8am – 6pm + after party
  • Cost: $25 or free if you are a student or really, really, really need the help
  • Schwag: Klean Kanteen 27oz bottles (retail cost for these is more than the price of your ticket)
  • Register: http://freelancecamp3.eventbrite.com/
  • More Information: http://freelancecamp.org

Not in the area? Don’t worry! We have a freelance camp coming to Reno soon (date still to be decided). Still out of luck? Start your own. We have already had five freelance camps in 2009 and every freelancer who has put one on sent me personal notes telling stories of how much this has caused a serious boost to their careers and the local economy.

Why write this post so early? I usually wait until 2 weeks before the events, but in this case we have limited space. Fire marshal has us capped at 300 people and I love the venue we are finalizing so I won’t change even if you all try to beat the doors down. Last year, after my email blast (which we will be sending out around June 18th or so) we sold out in 3 days. This is my first mention of the event in any public form and we are already down to 231 tickets as of tonight (June 13th) just based upon word of mouth. So if you want to come, sign up fast.
