8:45 - 9:15 a.m. Keynote Address: Successful Freelancing - John Hedtke
John Hedtke, an award-winning author of many articles and computer
books (which he indexes himself), is an entertaining speaker whose personal
philosophy of late is "If I were having any more fun, I’d have to be two
people." His philosophy is infectious. Be prepared to have fun! And, at
the same time, learn how to avoid mistakes often made by both new and experienced
freelancers, how to open up more opportunities and attract better clients,
and how to keep those clients coming back for more.
