About Time: You Joined Young, Wild & Freelance on Sunday 22nd OctoberBy Angelica Malin
Looking to make new freelance friends in London? Thinking about going freelance but not sure where to start? Facing a problem that only a freelancer understands? Well, this new event for creative freelancers in the capital is for you – buy your tickets here. Here at About Time, we love nothing more than bringing people together to share stories, experiences, first names and more.
This is an event we’ve wanted to do for so long, and we’re so excited to be bringing it to you this October. It can be hard and lonely at times to be freelance, and what we really need is people around you, to support and encourage you. But finding those people can be more trickier than you imagine, and we want to make it even easier to connect with other creative minds, freelancer and self-employed professionals in London. And hey, we don’t discriminate if you have a 9-5 too, we’re happy for anyone who has a creative side project or passion to join the fun. At our first ever Young, Wild & Freelance event, you will have the opportunity to experience:
– A delicious breakfast hosted by the top London delivery service EatFirst
– A networking session with fellow creative freelancers
– A problem-solving group discussion around this month’s theme: time management
– A Q&A panel with some of London’s top creative freelancers, including Rebbeca Reid, Eve Simmons and Ellen Manning (more speakers to be announced soon)
– A goodie bag filled with all kinds of delights to take away
