Canada’s meeting place for freelance writers and creators

Established 2010

CMG Freelance is holding a free event in Vancouver later this month for workers in digital media.

From writers to coders, digital workers all across the spectrum are finding it increasingly challenging to meet the diversifying expectations of employers. Media, tech, creative and communications workers are invited to come and meet colleagues, discuss these challenges, and hear about the opportunities that exist at the intersection of storytelling and coding.

The mixer is scheduled for next Thursday, April 24th at Rainier Provisions in Gastown (2 West Cordova St). It will feature two speakers: game designer, researcher and writer Elizabeth LaPensée and writer, designer and producer Sean Embury of the interactive media company Fulscrn.

For more info and to RSVP, visit the Eventbrite page.

Registration is free and snacks will be served.
