Media workers, freelancers, students and the public are all welcome at the CMG Freelance Media Mixer to be held in Ottawa on Wednesday, Jan. 14.

CWA Canada’s largest Local, the Canadian Media Guild (CMG) plays host to this “conversation” with media professionals about industry trends, finding work, negotiating fees and other challenges and opportunities in the sector.

This is part of CWA Canada’s regular mixer series supporting freelancers and emerging workers in media, creative, knowledge, tech and communications sectors.
