If you own your own creative business, you're probably interested in learning how to make more money doing what you're already doing. Maybe you're having issues closing sales, generating leads, marketing, making payroll, or other with other aspects of your business. The LessMoney Conference can help you learn to better deal with all those issues and more.
A lot of conferences out there for creative pros and small businesses are huge affairs, with hundreds of people and very little personability. The LessMoney Conference is different.
Limited to just fifty attendees, this two day conference (June 6th and 7th) in Tampa, Florida allows for a much more personal experience. There's plenty of time for answering questions, looking at each attendees individual approaches, and making sure you have a clear view of how to make your business more profitable. This intimate setting provides so many advantages over the large, impersonal conferences usually available.

After blogging for a few years about running our business we noticed the highest traffic blog post were the ones where we talked in depth about the challenges we faced. So in late 2011, we decided to host a few small workshops about the business side of freelancing and growing a web consultancy (design or development shop).Other conference speakers include Geoff DiMasi, of p'unkave, Carl Smith of ngen works, and Chad Pytel of Thoughtbot. They'll reveal all their secrets for running a more successful, more enjoyable business. And see what some past Conference attendees have had to say about the LessMoney Conference:

It's the most honest, open forum I've found for discussing the ins-and-outs of growing a consulting business. — Jason from SurpriseHighway.comEarly bird tickets to the conference are $500. The LessMoney Conference is also running back-to-back with the Front-End Design Conference!
