LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION! Join us on set for an evening of networking and filming rolled into one, as we kick off an ambitious new project to shine the light on freelancing. Date: Tuesday 26th June 2012 Time: 6.00pm to 8.30pm Location: University of Salford, MediaCityUK Lights, camera, action....Freelancers An ambitious new project is set to shine a light on the UK's 1.6 million freelancers. The project dubbed '7 Days in June' will see a team of creative freelancers and students come together for the challenging task of shooting 7 short films, in just 7 days, all on the topic of freelancing and their role in the agile economy. Why attend? - To spark ideas for innovation and improvement We are looking for contributors to give us their thoughts on the subject: a mix of freelancers and businesses that work with freelancers. - How do freelancers keep clients happy? - What makes a project run smoothly? Come along, network with fellow freelancers and businesses and have your say! We will be filming a number of montages and vox pops throughout this event, so if you would like to contribute and potentially make it into one of the films, register soon because spaces will be limited. Don't worry - you don't have to take part in the vox pops if you don't want to! If you do though, whether your are a freelancer, or representing a business, we would love to hear your comments on some of the following questions. - How long have you been freelancing / using freelancers? - Why do you choose to freelance / use freelancers? - What's great about freelancing / freelancers? - What's not so great about freelancing / freelancers? - If you had your chance again, would you still freelance / use freelancers? Register your details - and we'll look forward to seeing you on Tuesday 26th. 7 Days in June 2012 is brought to you by Brookson and PCG in support of National Freelancers Day 2012.
