Huge thanks to the many amazing Indie MDs, Talent Managers and Execs taking part in our Xmas virtual Speed-Networking Event on Thursday.
The idea of this networking event is to give freelancers more of a sense of what commissions are on the horizon for next year, so they are better placed to make informed decisions about 2024.
It's been heartwarming to see the recruiters’ enthusiasm for taking part (we now have 70 recruiters from 46 companies!) It's been a tough year for freelancers and Indies alike and we hope this part networking, part therapeutic get together provides some solace AND encouragement for all involved..
Thanks too to Bectu’s Philippa Childs and Marcus Ryder from The Film and TV Charity . We'll be kicking off the event with a discussion with them on how freelancers can be better supported in 2024 and beyond.
If you’re keen to come but didn’t manage to register in time, do look at the 'Upskill' tab on our new mobile app for similar events we’ll be hosting in the new year. (We have had to close registrations for this one as there were 725 in just 48 hours!) But next year we'll be running more large scale virtual events like these as well as our usual in-person networkings in all the regions.
Those of you with tickets should 'check-in' early to the virtual reception. Once there you can choose who you want to 'meet', 'avoid' or are neutral about. The algorithm matches mutual requests but all the company recruiters will be popular so our best advice is to pick a range of people to meet with.
Happy speed meeting. We hope you enjoy our Xmas 'meetaway'...

We will then move back to meetaway for the networking portion of the evening,
Really disappointed.
I'm a Natural History Shooting PD.
"Hi all - Matt from TM here. Huge apologies for the delay. We've had some many people register that it's actually crashed the Meetaway server. The webinar will be (is now) viewable here (top of this pinned post) and then back to meetaway for the networking.'
We've poured so much of ourselves into this industry, bent over backwards and missed so much in our personal lives to help get a production over the line - then been left completely abandoned when things go quiet.
People's attitudes have been: "Screw this place."
