LaidOffCamp Comes to NYC

LaidOffCamp, which was put together by volunteers, is coming to New York City.  If you are unemployed or nontraditionally employed as a freelancer, entrepreneur, or in a start-up in digital media, advertising, publishing, technology or financial service, think about participating in this 2-day ad-hoc gathering.

Panels, workshops, and discussions will focus on building your personal brand, transitioning to a new industry, legal & accounting demands of launching a new business, finding affordable health insurance, alternative working spaces, alternative income sources, and how to become a freelancer.  It's by donation, but if you can't afford anything, it's free.
