The Freelancer Bootcamp: Future-proofing your freelance life

Are you a budding freelancer looking for motivation and practical insight? Have you been plugging away for a few years and need to get that spark and passion back? Then join our masterclass with successful entrepreneurs and talent coaches.

Given we’ve seen the world change almost on a daily basis in recent times, our tutors will share their predictions for what they think will impact the way we work over the next five to 10 years, from technological innovations, such as AI and augmented reality, to life after Brexit.

This masterclass will help you consider future-proofing yourself and inspire you to make time to think beyond next week. After all, the prepared ones seize the day.

As the final evening in our Freelancer Bootcamp series, this session will include presentations by all of the Freelance Bootcamp tutors and special guests, and finish with “after-work” networking drinks.
