Testimonials

This was the first time I had attended the conference and it has left me feeling really fired up about my next steps. It’s refreshing to have spent a day on my business, rather than in it. I have a notebook full of ideas as a result. Thank you.

Happy to have been able to participate in the National Freelancers Day for the first time! So much learning from different experts and opportunities to network and connect with professionals from different industries. Definitely will be there again in 2023!

See what past attendees had to say

Although I’m now into my 17th year of freelancing, NFD remains a valuable time for me to share some ‘sanity checks’ with fellow freelancers through the various session themes, and also to be encouraged by hearing what IPSE are up to in open debates in continuing to represent and advocate for us with policy makers to reflect our experiences during the pandemic.

The conference was so well organised… I really enjoyed the format and found it easy to access everything.

National Freelancers Day is excellent, it’s hard to do virtual events well but the NFD App makes it incredibly easy to attend NFD despite my personally being with customers on the day – the catchup has allowed me to draw on invaluable insights from industry and still network meaningfully with other attendees. For my business it’s a must-have event and I make a point of having my staff attend every year just on account of how much they and I learn on the day.

The ability to go back and watch after the event – this made a huge difference to me

IPSE, the Association of Independent Professionals and the Self-Employed, is the voice of the UK’s self-employed population who make up one in seven people working today. 

We make sure freelancers, interim managers, consultants and contractors are represented to Government. By producing insightful, hard-hitting research and effective policy campaigns, we fight to create a better environment for the self-employed to run their businesses and ultimately, ensure our economy remains one of the most flexible in the world.
