Freelancer Connect: Network & Grow
Our first freelancer event went fantastically, events in August are always a risk, with it being the school holidays and ideal holiday timing. But with all this considered, the turnout was a success with over 20 freelancer attendees, 60% of them being new to MBH.
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, we attract new people to our events every time so it’s always a worthwhile investment paying the small fee for our networking events.
The resource board was a great hit, encouraging people to leave their business cards but also take others that may be beneficial to them. We have considered continuing this for all our business networking events, so may see this idea crop up again in the future.
Another huge thank you to our event sponsors Greenlight Computers for working with MBH to create this new event, a special mention to Ryan Goulding from Cotton’s Financial Planning for being our on-hand financial advisor for the event and to Sophie Marcelin-Horne and Daniel Johnston for assisting in the creation of this event.
We look forward to hosting another Freelancer Connect event in the future and we hope to see some more new faces again.
