Free Agent Jungle : Boston Lunch
Thursday, February 19, 2009 from 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM (ET)
Free Agent Jungle hosts a monthly networking lunch for people working solo in the greater Boston area: free agents, freelancers, consultants and contractors from diverse industries and areas of expertise. Inspired by a lunch Sooz had with another freelancer who shared her complaints about not seeing enough humans in person during the work day, she hosted Free Agent Boston events 1999-2004.
The project is relaunching as Free Agent Jungle with it's first event coming up at Tavern in the Square in Cambridge's Porter Square on Thursday, February 19, 2009 at 11:30 AM. The lunch series takes place the third Thursday of each month.
Event Format
11:30 - 12:15 Introductions & Networking
12:15 - 1:30 Lunch & Networking
Who Is Invited?
You are invited to join us if you are working on your own and describe yourself as a free agent, freelancer, consultant or contractor.
Why Attend?
Sooz started this event because she and free agent/freelancer cohorts were spending a lot of time alone working from home. It's good to get out once a month during the day and see someone other than the person delivering your mail! It's also an opportunity to network with other free agents working in diverse industries and backgrounds who may need your help on a project someday. This event is not exclusive to people working in tech/web/social media. If you go to a lot of tech events and want to meet people outside that world, this is an excellent event to attend.
What is included in the cost?
The registration fee is all-inclusive and includes networking plus lunch (entree and soda or coffee.) After the event you will receive the business contact information of each participant. If you are unable to attend, the registration fee can be transferred to a future lunch event if you cancel prior to 24 hours before the event.
Lunch includes a choice of a variety of salads and sandwiches plus soda or coffee. View the lunch menu PDF. (Beer and wine are available separately from your registration fee.)
