AIP Presents: "Why Organizations Hire Freelancers" Panel Discussion

This event is now sold out. Those who still wish to register online will be added to a waiting list. You can also add your name to the waiting list by sending an e-mail to IABC/Toronto's office at toronto-info@iabc.com.

AIP events are undergoing an extreme makeover! On February 18th we move into a splendid lounge space at Quince, complete with bar and buzz, alongside plenty of room for networking and opportunities for showcasing work by members. It's a VIP experience for members, guests and speakers.

Panel Discussion:

Are you still struggling to get in the door and consistently work on projects for corporations, government agencies, pr firms and non-profit organizations? Wouldn't it be great if someone from those organizations could give you inside tips on how to get their business? If you answered "yes" to either of those questions, then join us for our first AIP event of 2009! We'll have a diverse panel of decision makers who will tell you what they look for when hiring freelancers and how to earn repeat business.

Not for Profit - Catherine Allman, Director, Communications and Marketing, Canadian Cancer Society
Government - Garth Cramer, Director, Communications, Ministry of Environment
