National Freelancers Day 2011

NFD 2011, a day to focus on the opportunities that freelancing offers to individuals, to organisations and to the economy, a day to connect and enhance the knowledge of the freelance community.

NFD is all about Freelancing, a chance to highlight the value and contribution of the UK Freelance Sector, 1.56 million people who really are a fundamental to the economy in the UK and our prospects of recovery.

Last year the message reached over 1 million people and supporters included Prime Minister David Cameron. This year let’s make it bigger – your support will help to spread this message even further.

23rd November 6.30pm – 9:00pm

The second Freelance Lecture forms the centrepiece of National Freelancers Day 2011 (once again supported by our media partner the Telegraph Media Group).

You can watch it Live from 7pm below.
