Ask the Experts Part 2: An Open Discussion with 3 Independent Consultants (IEEE-USA Free Livestream Event)

#IEEE-USA #consulting #AICNCC #contracting #gig #workers #webinar

Join 3 experts from IEEE-USA's Alliance of IEEE Consultants' Network Coordinating Committee (AICNCC) as they continue to address live audience questions on all consulting issues. After our March program there were many questions the experts did not get a chance to address.  The AICNCC has returned to answer those questions and new ones. Our target audience will be young professionals who are considering becoming a full-time independent consultant as well as professionals who may have experienced job loss during this pandemic and are considering entering the world of consulting.

We have assembled a team of experienced consultants who will provide valuable insight and advice. There will be no formal presentation, just consultants talking about consulting. If you have any specific questions you would like to have addressed, please feel free to send them to Daryll Griffin (d.r.griffin@ieee.org) and they will be shared with the presenters prior to the event.
