What We Do

Networking Parties

Meet creative, entrepreneurial trailblazers.

Come mix with a diverse crowd of fellow freelancers at one of our quarterly networking parties in Manhattan or Brooklyn.  You'll have at least one thing in common with everyone there:  a desire to get out of your office, studio, or neighborhood coffee shop and meet new people.

Drop us a line at events@freelancersunion.org if you have suggestions for a good venue.   

Freelancers U

Never stop learning.

Seminars in NYC

If you feel like you have a thing or two to learn about running your own business, take a look at our seminars and workshops. These events have topics that range from networking techniques to doing your taxes and will give you the skills to build your business.

Seminars Online

Freelancers are all across the country, so we decided Freelancers U should be, too. Live, monthly online seminars cover topics like writing a business plan, improving your billing practices, and marketing your services.
