Successful freelancers will lead you through what you need to know about freelancing: from understanding day rates and billing to how to promote yourself out there in the freelance world.

Also on hand will be hiring professionals to give their insight on what they look for in the freelance market. Please note - this isn't a job fair, but a seminar designed to introduce you to the new business model that has been changing our industry. And the best way to learn it is to hear from all sides.

There will also be time for Q & A, so get your questions ready.
