About this event

A free wheeling discussion and networking opportunity for self-employed consultants

How do self-employed consultants best put themselves across to potential clients?


The C&W Self-Employed SIG has been meeting for around 25 years now and is an opportunity for self-employed CIPD members to network, make new contacts and look at how they can put themselves across better. The event will give you the opportunity to meet new people and also consider how you introduce yourself, elevate your elevator pitch and boost your online presence.


Expect a freewheeling discussion and come prepared to share what works best for you, offer others valuable feedback and open to receiving feedback yourself with a view to further developing your marketing efforts.
