Interested in networking with other creatives in the AIGA Minnesota Solopreneurs community?

Join us for our monthly lunch meeting at The Wedge Table Classroom. We discuss upcoming Solopreneur events, brainstorm and collaborate on business and creative issues. Come enjoy the company of other independent creative professionals in a casual setting with some tasty food available for purchase.

If you’re already a Solopreneur or just thinking about making the transition, we’d love to include you in our conversation. No registration or advanced RSVP is required. Plan to buy your own lunch and/or beverage.

Schedule

12:00-1:00 Solopreneurs Meeting
Come meet and network with other independent creatives over coffee or a delicious lunch purchased from our friends at The Wedge Table. Our topic for September as part of the continuing Freelance Fundamentals series –Making the Move: Career Transitions as a Solopreneur. This topic previews the EMERGE events in September aimed towards new and emerging creatives. We’ll discuss how we broke into the freelance / solopreneur world, how we knew that it was the right step, and what has motivated us to stay with it. We’ll help the newer solopreneurs brainstorm their career blocks towards advancement. We’ve had a lot of new solopreneurs attending and we want to help you avoid the pitfalls that we have experienced, while you utilize the best practices of self-employment or freelancing.

1:00-1:30 Committee Meeting and 2018 Planning

Free to attend, all independent creatives are invited.
