How to Network Without Feeling Awkward

A 1-hour online workshop for screen freelancers who’d rather chew tinfoil than “work the room”

Let’s be honest:

Most freelancers know networking matters — but the idea of selling yourself in a room full of strangers?

Yeah… not the dream.

This workshop is for freelancers in the screen industry who want to build real connections, without the sleaze, the cringe or the small-talk spiral of doom.

You’ll Learn:

✅ What networking actually is (and why it’s not always what you think)

✅ Easy ways to start conversations without feeling weird

✅ How to talk about what you do – and sound confident, not cocky

✅ Simple strategies to stay in touch after events

✅ How to make networking work for you – even if you’re introverted or new to the industry

This is a practical session – not just theory:

1. Come as you are – camera on or off
2. Bring your questions, fears or horror stories
3. Leave with tools you can use immediately at Freelancer Life Day or anywhere else you need to connect

This session is included free as part of the Freelancer Life Day program – if you’re in Perth or WA check out the full program here

Please note the event is based on AEST time (Melbourne time).
