Join us for our annual event, National Freelancers Day 2020, taking place on Thursday 18 June at Kings Place in London. We will be celebrating the very best of the UK’s most exciting, driven and enterprising self-employed at our annual conference. Freelancers now make up 2 million of the UK's workforce. If you are one of these then attend the flagship event for contractors, consultants, independent professionals and interims, and network within one of the fastest growing sectors.
A packed day full of inspirational speakers, interactive sessions, informative workshops and so much more. Give yourself some time to step away from what you do best and develop your skills, knowledge and networks. Networking drinks will also be held after the event at the Chapel Down Gin Works from 17.00 just across the road from the main venue.
