Changes in the workplace over the last couple of decades mean that far more of us are working as Independent Knowledge Workers: e.g. consultants, contractors, interim managers. The credit crunch may propel more of us in that direction.

This is your chance to find out about the pros and cons.

From first hand experience we take a look at what being a consultant is all about.

Cost: This event is free of charge and open to the general public

Organiser: The Institution of Engineering and Technology (Swindon Network).

The Institution of Engineering and Technology??

Never heard of 'em...

I guess the IMechE and IEE laugh at them. Are they trying to compete with the BCS?

This might be an interesting presentation.

There are plenty of resources out there about starting your own business and being an entrepreneur if all you want to do is sell hosepipes and other crap requiring no brain, but not very much info on starting an IT business.
