  Social media never sits still — and neither do the freelancers who depend on it. As algorithms shift, platforms rise (and fall), and audiences change how they engage, staying ahead of the curve can feel like a full-time job.

  Join our panel of CFG experts — all working professionals who live and breathe this stuff — as they share insights on where social media is headed in 2026. We’ll explore what’s working now, what’s fading fast, and what new trends might reshape how freelancers market themselves, connect with clients, and build communities online.

  Whether you manage client accounts or just want to keep your own socials sharp, this session will leave you inspired, informed, and ready to scroll into the new year with confidence.

  Freelancers wear a lot of hats — but “financial planner” doesn’t have to be the most intimidating one. Whether you’re just starting out or already juggling multiple income streams, it’s never too early (or too late) to build a smart, sustainable financial future.

  Join our CFG experts as they dive into the freelancer’s guide to money management: investing, retirement planning, and long-term wealth building tailored for independent professionals. We’ll talk practical strategies, tools, and habits that help you take control of your finances — no jargon, no judgment.

  If you’ve ever wondered how to make your money work for you (even when your income isn’t always predictable), this panel is the perfect place to start.

  Great clients don’t just appear out of thin air — but with the right content, they can find you. From blogs and newsletters to social posts and portfolios, inbound marketing helps freelancers build trust, show expertise, and draw in the kinds of clients who truly value what you do.

  In this CFG Experts Panel, we’ll talk about what works (and what doesn’t) when creating content that converts. Our panelists will share how they’ve built visibility, credibility, and steady leads through authentic, strategic storytelling — and how you can do the same.

  Whether you’re tired of chasing work or just looking to sharpen your self-marketing game, this session will help you turn your content into a client magnet.

  For many freelancers, the CBC isn’t just another client — it’s a milestone. And for CFG, it’s personal: our roots run deep with the CBC, where many of our founding members built their freelance careers.

  In this special edition of the CFG Experts Panel, we’ll explore what it’s like to freelance for the CBC today — from pitching and editorial processes to building lasting relationships with producers and editors. Hear from freelancers who’ve worked across CBC’s platforms and learn how to navigate opportunities, expectations, and best practices for success.

  Whether you’re a journalist, producer, or content creator looking to connect with Canada’s public broadcaster, this session is your inside look at how to make it happen — from the people who know it best.
