Going Solo Leeds 12 September – conference for freelancers

[Edit – Sadly GoingSolo Leeds has been canceled. See here for more details. Will keep you in touch about future events though]

I’m very happy to say that SmallBizPod is once again an official media partner for Going Solo, a practical one day conference for freelancers, consultants and small business owners.

This time around the event will be held in Leeds on Friday 12 September. and will take the same format as the first in Lausanne earlier in the year. What’s more the same excellent speakers have confirmed they’ll be taking part including: Suw Charman, Dennis Howlett, Laura Fitton, Stowe Boyd, Martin Roell and Steph Booth herself.

Steph did a fantastic job of pulling together the event in Lausanne and I’m sure Leeds 08 will be memorable too. Quite apart from the conference itself, there’s the added attraction of the chance to meet and network with all the speakers and participants who’ll be there.

Check out the programme details and if you want a sneak preview of what the speakers will be talking about, have a listen to SmallBizPod #67, if you haven’t already.

So if you’re planning on going solo, think you may need to hone your freelance and negotiating skills as the economy slows, then sign up for tickets and tell them I sent you!
