Climb to the Stars: Announcing Going Solo

  • Lloyd Budd · 2 years ago

    That sounds like a wonderful focal point to bring people together around. Best wishes!

    I'm soooooo happy for you!
    Great conference theme for your "first baby" :))

  • Sofia · 2 years ago

    All the very best of luck!!
    I like the idea. It is also good for companies to meet freelancers that they might not normally come across.

    Let me know how I can help. I've done this during the year 2007 and have lots to share. Not Europe-specific, but general.

    Wonderful! The conference and the initiative might even prompt me to use some free time I have right now. If I can do anything to help just let me know!

    Does it mean I'll be in Lusanne in May? --Pondering :)


    Good luck, lady.

  • Emily Turrettini · 2 years ago

    Sounds great! Géniale.

  • Stephanie · 2 years ago

    Wow, thanks for the support, everybody! Once again, I'm overwhelmed by the positive feedback I'm getting on this project. I plan to write more about it tonight if I don't drop right into bed before I manage to do so (another few blog posts in the pipeline).


    I'll be offline tomorrow, so if it's not tonight, it'll be Sunday.

    Isn't going solo hard enough? Can't we skip the "following some thought processes" part? Then again, both decisions-in-the-making and not-sure-what-I’ll-do-yets sound delicious, fun and easy ;-)

  • Thomas Purves · 2 years ago

    Congrats and best of luck Stephanie!

  • Stephanie · 2 years ago

    Hey Chris -- not exactly sure I'm understanding you right: are you saying you're not interested in following my rambling thought processes? I'm upset...

  • Riccardo · 2 years ago

    Very very interesting. Even if I'm not in the freelancing business at the moment, I've been there for quite some time, it would be nice to see how things evolved over the last few years and try to verify how "social" going solo can be ;)

  • Chris Zumbrunn · 2 years ago

    @Stephanie:
    lol, no! As long as you are the one doing the thinking when we follow processes, we'll be save. When it comes to decisions-in-the-making and not-sure-what-I’ll-do-yets I'll be happy to help do some active, creative thinking myself, is what I meant.

    Welcome to the Swiss conference scene. Happy to see more events develop :) and a very interesting niche you have.


    I can't remember of a similar conference around the world so it looks like a great idea. Will Martin Roell be your first keynote then ;) ?

  • Stephanie · 2 years ago

    He's agreed to speak, actually -- as have two other rather exciting speakers ;-)

  • Marie-Aude · 2 years ago

    Very good idea :) please include me in your "spam" ;) list for information about it.

  • Bruno · 2 years ago

    Good niche, and timely. I would suggest that you take into account, in your thinking, the big (BIG) differences that exist in solo-ing in the US vs Europe. Wishing you sucess :-)
