I’m sure lots of you have already heard that over the past weekend (Sat, May 29th) Freelance Camp hit Canada for the first time right here in Vancouver!

It was amazing to see a turnout of over 150 freelancers, consultants, small business owners, and entrepreneurs from the Vancouver area and beyond come out to represent.

The format of the day was open and any participant that wanted to present a talk just pitched their idea to the crowd and if it got some votes the talk was slotted in to the day’s schedule.

There were all sorts of cool talks given including things like “No more bad days” by Ben Kadel from Emotus Operandi, “Dream projects: Common Threads To Get More” by Ted Morgan from Cabin Works Media, and I even gave a talk called “Biz Card Science”. You can check out notes and more details on the Wiki Minna Van set up that covers the overall event and presentations in much more detail: http://freelancecamp.pbworks.com

All in all it was a great day for the Vancouver freelance and consulting scene (I must say I’m happy to be part of it through Advicetap). As I jumped the bus back home and reflected on the day I couldn’t help but feel how positive and supportive the group was and I think all attendees left feeling motivated and juiced to keep pushing hard on their freelance and business paths.

Thanks again to the Network Hub for putting it on and for photos of the day shot out to the talented Jeremy Lim.
