Freelance Camp A Success!

Thanks to everyone who attended Freelance Camp Houston on Saturday at the Houston Technology Center, it was a tremendous success! We had a lot of people new to the camp scene as well as a handful of veterans, and it was an excellent learning experience for all. The feedback from the event was overwhelmingly positive, and we’re going to have another one again soon, so stay tuned!

I would like to thank our sponsors once again for making this event possible:

Werkadoo, The Houston Technology Center, Caroline Collective, Powered Production, Laundry Tree, Coffee Groundz, InHouston, Saint Arnold, Blellow, Advantj Media, Angelos Pizza, Houston Networking News, BMeyer Bookkeeping, Diosana Group, and Catalina Construction Inc.

Without these guys, we wouldn’t have been able to have this great event. Please leave your feedback for us in the comments below so we can make the next camp bigger and better!

Sincerely,

-Travis Skweres
