Online Zoom Webinar


Conferences can be great resources for freelancers, but only if you take the time to understand the conference circuit and learn how to put that understanding into practice.

Our experts panel will lead you through the pros and cons of the conference circuit, how to choose the right conferences, timing, and how to connect with people you'll need to make your efforts pay off.

George built a business around conferences during the dot-com boom, and continues to focus on events as a key driver of revenue and information.

donalee has used conferences in her medical writing to get access to the experts she needs for that work.

And our newest player to the conference circuit, Becky Zimmer, is exploring how conferences can help her build a travel media practice.

Our panelists have worked conferences with attendance in the dozens, hundreds, and tens of thousands, online and in person.

Turn this into a Master Class with your questions about this essential activity for freelancers.
