Check out the pictures from our international freelance meetup in Antwerp (Belgium) this week 💜
It was both the opening of Elina Jutelyte’s Freelance Business Month and the latest event in our ongoing Freelancers On the Road tour, following stops in Madrid, Barcelona, Ljubljana, Dresden, Sofia, and Bratislava.
As usual, the meetup included business networking, coworking experience, and deep-dive debate with Robert Vlach on freelance entrepreneurship. Many great questions, insights, and remarks from the participants there!
There was an Indian guy who arrived from Paris, a Canadian, an American, people from other countries as well, including one from Albania (!), and naturally, many locals from Belgium and nearby Netherlands.
We co-organized the meetup with Elina and Silversquare Antwerp Tower at their beautifully designed premises overlooking downtown. The interior and the view on the pictures speak for themselves 😍

Elina Jutelyte and Robert Vlach, two of the most active community leaders within the European freelance economy, will kick off Freelance Business Month 2024 on October 1 in Antwerp, Belgium.
The meetup, co-organized with Silversquare at their great coworking venue, is open to all freelancers for free — you just need to sign up through a simple registration form.
The packed 4-hour program will include business networking, an introduction to coworking opportunities by Charline Lenaerts of Silversquare, Elina’s opening speech for the Freelance Business Month, and a deep-dive debate with Robert on freelance business and entrepreneurship, including topics from his best-selling book, The Freelance Way.
The event represents another important landmark on the journey of the European freelance economy towards greater connectedness and international collaboration between freelancers and their communities.
Here at Freelancing.eu, we strongly believe that organizing in-person events and building local and international connections is very beneficial for individual freelancers, especially if they tend to be isolated in their work, working from home, and not engaged in their professional community.
We’re all in on building a greater European freelance community—one meetup at a time 💙

Business strategy is not just for big corporations. As Sarah Duran brilliantly points out in her article, having a strategy is crucial for solo business owners too. It’s not about rigid plans; it’s about being adaptable and ready. Whether you’re managing your time, money, or energy, a solid strategy helps you stay focused and make every move count.
“A coherent vision with an aligned strategy helps you see the forest instead of the trees, staying focused on your longer-term plans instead of the day-to-day minutia.”
