Fall professional development seminar

Last fall, Mediaville, in conjunction with its partners, hosted its first event: a half-day, weekend event, with two panel discussions, a workshop and networking party, attended by over 100 local freelancers. We’d like to repeat the experience, and make it even better. We’re looking for a couple, dedicated and resourceful people to help with organization and staffing (note that volunteers get free admission).

If you’d like to help out, volunteers can apply here.
