On June 8, we organized a "Freelance Summer Fest" in cooperation with CodeControl & 9am at Jules Beergarden in Berlin!
It was a fantastic event and about 100 people showed up, many of them members of the Uplink or CodeControl communities, but also new freelancers who had seen the invitations. We really enjoyed spending time together, especially since we hadn't seen many of the people who came by in 2 years due to Corona.

Manchmal hat man als Freelancer so viel zu tun, dass man überhaupt nicht mehr weiß, wo einem der Kopf steht, und natürlich möchte man kein einziges Kundenprojekt hintenanstellen. Zeit fürs Networking sollte man dann auch noch haben. Selbst wenn du Nerven aus Stahl hast, kommst du mit einer solch chaotischen Planung früher oder später an deine Grenzen. Aus diesem Grund habe ich hier ein paar Tips für dich, die mir in meinem Alltag sehr helfen.

Usually, we only accept folks who are already registered as a freelancer (or running their own company) to our community.
