Many Thanks for All Who Supported FreelanceCampSA
// February 4th, 2009 // Comments // San Antonio 2009
Consider another camp in the books! San Antonio’s first FreelanceCamp was an astounding success, but not without all the participation of our attendees and our sponsors. Without these two groups the event would have been nothing, but with enthusiastic and supportive sponsors, the organizers were able to put together an event where attendees could share, learn, network, and collaborate on future projects.
The atmosphere was electric with the buzzing of sessions, ad-hoc discussions, and the sounds of laughter and overall contentment with the entire thing. Of course the venue helped to create all this excitement. Big mention for Radius Cafe, a very creative, progressive spot perfect for functions of all kinds.
Discussion included Co-Working spaces in San Antonio, how a freelancer can leverage social media to their benefit, blogging and podcasting as a marketing tool, law protecting freelancers and employers, freelancing in the non-profit sector, and the hour long presentation, Freelancing in a Flat World done by Austin’s own Trish Lambert, a California transplant now enjoying life in Central Texas.
Most of the recorded sessions can be found at the following two links below:

If you took photos of the event and they are Flickr, please make sure you use the the tags #fcsatx to mark your photos so that others can find them.
I want to send a big thanks to Shane Pearlman, of Shane & Peter, Inc., for the donation of the FreelanceCamp.org website. Leaders in the community like him opened the site to assist other FreelanceCamps in the nation and is also an excellent model for those us all looking to work with one another to make these even
ts happen. San Antonio and the camp’s organizers thank you for sharing this site with us!
And finally, as mentioned above, thank you to our entire group of sponsors who made the event possible. Your help put FreelanceCamp San Antonio on the map, and I look forward to working with all of you next year in 2010 for FreelanceCamp San Antonio 2.
