Earlybird Tickets on sale now for $50 http://freelancecamppro2010sf.eventbrite.com/ Freelance Camp PRO San Francisco 2010 is a new twist on the established series of BarCamps for freelancers and independent contractors. If you have been running freelance business full time for a year or more, and are looking to trade notes with peers, this is the right venue. Some of the topics we imagine might surface (just to prime the pump). Of course, you the attendee will chose the topics on the day of the barcamp: * Transitioning from Freelance to Agency * Balancing Products with Services * Running 100% Remote * Freelance Coops & Coworking * The Art of Subcontracting * Advanced Toolkits: PM Systems, Finance & Communication * Beyond the Basic Services * Long Term Clients You ask: What is a BarCamp? BarCamp is an international network of user generated conferences — open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants. The day consists of sessions proposed by attendees and the schedule is created on site the morning of the event. BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn from each other in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos and interaction from participants. WHAT TO EXPECT AT FREELANCE CAMP PRO: The day will start at 8am with an hour of socializing over coffee and pastries. We will be handing out some cool piece of swag (once we know what it is) to registrants at the sign up. It is really important you arrive by 9am so you can participate in creating the day’s agenda. At 9am sharp we will give directions on how to propose a topic and then we will create a schedule. We will be harvesting the minds and expertise of all the people in the room to come up with topics pertinent to freelancers. If you’d like to lead a session you’re going to want to speak up with your topic idea at 9am, when the schedule is being created. WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO BRING: • Your own coffee mug • A head full of topic ideas • Your laptop (free wi-fi provided.) If you are not so inclined to arrive with electronic note-taking items a simple notebook and pen will do. • Lots of business cards. This is a great networking opportunity. You can get a quick turnaround from moo.com if you are in need of cards. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.
