Description:
The web has always attracted mavericks and entrepreneurs, and a rocky economy makes the freelance life more desirable (or at least more inevitable) than ever. So what happens when your freelance business starts to grow? How big can you get without getting bad? How can freelancers and small teams compete with traditional agencies? Hip freelancers and cool agency heads will answer questions, compare experiences, and tell their stories.

There has probably never been a more appropriate time for this panel, with a huge wave of highly talented people currently finding themselves unemployed.

This will be a must see.

Its true that when you start to expand you can often dilute talent and the work ethic and passion a true freelancer exerts.
Do it today!
