About

An unconference style event for independent workers to connect, share knowledge, and become better freelancers.

What to expect…

At the start of the event, you will receive a name tag and you can grab yourself a coffee. We’ll start off with everyone introducing themselves with their interests and topics they would like to discuss or want to be covered.

Some possible topics:

• Task and Time Management tools

• Marketing and Social Media tools

• Coworking

• Working remotely

• Negotiating contracts

• Business Ethics

• Intellectual Property

• How to set up a Consultancy

Freelance Camp will have an open agenda that participants create on the day of the event in the morning (arrive early if you want to present!) by nominating and voting for which topics to be covered. People who want to lead or present will add their session to the empty schedule. The finalized schedule will be chosen by all participants. Once posted, you can choose which session you would like to participate in.

Be open to ideas and have some ideas in mind. This unconference is all about discussion, interaction and learning. We want all you freelancers to be able to leave with a bit more information than when you arrived. This means participation is key – be ready to share your knowledge and help your fellow freelancers. You can share your freelancing experience and discuss any challenges you are facing. With a handful of freelancers just a few steps away, you can get experience-based answers to your questions.

Keep in mind that Freelance Camp is a great way to network, meet potential clients and/or partners – chat with people running successful freelance businesses. With a diverse range of experience, you can explore different approaches to freelancing.
