Freelancers?

If you’re a freelancer or even thinking about freelancing you don’t want to miss our panel discussion at FITC Toronto “Reality Cheque: Running a Freelance Business”! 

This session will dive into helpful and practical subject matter that they didn’t teach you in school. We’ll provide you with tips and techniques to help you run a successful freelance business. Topics will include how to set your rates, factoring in taxes, making sure a contract is in your best interest and how to market yourself. So bring along your questions as well.

Panelists include Dana DiTomaso LakeStreet Communications , Kendra Gadzala www.gadzala.com, Nadine Lessio nadinelessio.com, and Stacey Mulcahy bitchwhocodes.com. And I’ll be moderating (Ann-Marie Cheung FlashGoddess.com).

FITC is even offering a special discount for freelancers and those who are out of work or have been recently been laid off, pretty cool!

I’ve been coming to this event for the past 7 years and it has always been great! I can’t wait!

Who's going to FITC Toronto 09?

FITC is less than 4 weeks away! I tend to go to the creative and business sessions.  “99 Problems but a Pitch Ain’t One” a panel moderated by Simon Conlin and “Marketing Your Skillz (aka Self Promotion for the Shy Creative Type)” by Daniel Schutzsmith look very interesting.  I’m also looking forward to the Adobe Keynote , Joshua Davis’ “Space” presentation and also seeing what the “Cool Japanese Flash” is about.

There’s a few women presenting this year; Carole Guevin, “Online, the Brand is YOU!”, Stacey Mulcahy “Large Scope/ Little Worry”, Ana Serrano “Innovative Storytelling through Hybrid Media”, Camille Utterback “Responding to Bodies: My Work is Watching You”. Hey, I’m even moderating a panel this year, “Reality Cheque – Running a Freelance Business”.

It’s going to be a good one! FITC is the one event I absolutely must attend every year!
