However, we run over 100 events (both virtual and in-person) throughout the year. Please feel free to search through our upcoming events where you can get the latest insights for your business and the world of self-employment.
IPSE has teamed up with The Work Crowd’s #FreelancerFriday to co-host a panel event discussing the power of freelance collaboration.
Collaborating with other freelancers has many benefits, including client referrals, establishing long-term partners to improve quality of projects, but also allows freelancers to free up their time to focus on the ‘bigger picture’ of their self-employment business. And as the pandemic supercharges the freelance economy, it is no surprise to see an uplift in freelance collaborations to cope with the surge in demand.
But where do you start? Join our panel of experts, as they discuss how to find your freelance network and collaborate effectively.
The panellists will discuss:
There will also be plenty of opportunities to ask questions to the panellists during the event.
