Freelancers’ Speed Networking – A Collaboration Between Amandes Grillées & IFA

Freelancers’ Speed Networking – A Collaboration Between Amandes Grillées & IFA

It’s la rentrée – the perfect time to reconnect, grow, and meet new faces! This September, Amandes Grillées and the International Freelancers Networking Group (IFA) are joining forces for a special speed networking event designed to spark collaboration, generate opportunities, and strengthen our international freelancer community here in Paris.

Where: Corcoran’s, 9-11 Rue Foyatier, 75018 Paris
When: September 23rd, 18h30-21h30

Here’s how it will work:
We’ll start with casual networking and chatting.
Then, we'll break into small groups, where each participant will give a 1-minute elevator pitch covering:

• What you do
• What you can offer (e.g., LinkedIn advice, portfolio feedback, skills)
• What you’re looking for (e.g., new projects, collaborators, insights)
• Groups will then be reshuffled, giving you maximum exposure to new people, ideas, and opportunities.

This is your chance to:

• Meet freelancers and entrepreneurs from two dynamic Paris communities
• Share your expertise and challenges
• Find collaborators, clients, or fresh ideas for your projects
