DESCRIPTION:Changes in the workplace over the last couple of decades mean 
 that far more of us are working as Independent Knowledge Workers: eg consu
 ltants\, contractors\, interim managers. The credit crunch may propel more
  of us in that direction.\n\n* Is it a welcome escape from the dead hand o
 f the big corporates\, or a precarious and unstable existence?\n* Is it a 
 route to wealth or will you miss your regular monthly pay?\n* Will it give
  you more free time and flexibility\, or will you be working harder than e
 ver whenever your customers demand it?\n* What are the pitfalls and what m
 ust you do to stay solvent\, safe and sane?\n\nThe speaker will use his ow
 n experience to provide his answers. This is your chance to find out about
  the pros and cons. From first hand experience we take a look at what bein
 g a consultant is all about.\nA lively debate is expected to follow.\nWhet
 her you are already a consultant\, thinking about becoming one\, or simply
  interested in how it all works\, then this is an essential event.
