The first ever Freelance Camp to be held in Vancouver last Saturday was a complete success. The sold out event attracted freelancers and entrepreneurs from all over the city to The Network Hub in Downtown Vancouver for a full day of “unconferencing.”

The only time everyone got together in the same room was during the lunch session where Michael Kwan and I gave our presentation on the 8 ways to make money online. Lunch was provided by Mr. Happy Pho.
Fun facts and photos from the very first Freelance Camp:
- From 1pm – 4pm ish we were in the top trending topics in Canada on twitter
- 120 spring rolls + 120 salad rolls were consumed
- $448 dollars worth of door prizes
- $5400 worth of goodies in total were given to all attendees
- 135 attendees from different background and disciplines
- 22 sessions were led from 10 am – 4:25 pm
