International Freelancers Day Online Conference

I saw a tweet come across my screen about this online conference and thought I'd look over the website. There are so many seminars, telephone conferences and emails claiming to all help out writers. Being my skeptical self, I wanted to see if this was something worth the time.

I'm interested in what I've learned on their website. This conference which is scheduled for September 24-25, 2010. They will have over 24 online speakers with live presentations. Though it's free you have to register to attend. During the event, there will be 10 to 15 presentations each day, all conducted by online video. Each is focused on a specific topic that will help build your freelance or solo business. The video for each presentation will begin exactly at the scheduled time. They will offer the videos online for free to view if you missed a presenter.
