The Business of Web Development

In a round table format involving everyone present so that we can learn from each other... We'll discuss some of the following topics, starting with those most burning to those in attendance:

• Different business structures for internet professionals: Solo/Freelance, Collaborative, Agency..., pros, cons, and issues to be aware of for each
  
• Lessons learned from clients and best practices for managing clients and projects
  
• Billing practices and Contracts
  
• Finding clients
  
• Managing small vs. large projects
  
• Other suggestions? Send 'em to me!
