About

Freelance Pros is bringing Freelance Camp to Des Moines for the first time!

What is Freelance Camp? Freelance Camp is a place to discuss and explore the different approaches to running a successful freelance business / service company. This Des Moines-based event is based on the Barcamp Format to generate powerful discussion on a range of business topics.  Barcamp Format means a network of freelancers/free agents/independent professionals (however you label yourself)  generate the topics, the discussion and share ideas important to their business.

Anyone with something to contribute or with the desire to learn is welcome and invited to join.  The benefit is that with idea sharing we all learn new things, find smarter applications and software programs to help us run our businesses more efficiently, more effectively and more successfully.

What’s Freelance Pros? The camp is run by Freelance Pros, a local advocacy group supporting freelancers throughout the metro through education, networking opportunities and co-working projects.
