Promote
If, like us, you think Going Solo is the best event around for freelancers (or, more modestly, if you think you know people who might like to come), here are some ideas and material to help get the word out.
We are also happy to discuss media partnerships (cross-promotional, or other).
Blog
Blog about it! We need your help to get the word out. Many thanks to all of you who blog about Going Solo. Keep it up!

Circulate
There are a few videos which can serve quite well as promotional material for Going Solo. Circulate them amongst your friends (without going all spammy on them though!) if you think it could interest them.
- open stage video from LIFT08 on Google Video [digg]
- open stage video from LIFT08 on Facebook
- interview by Nicolas Charbonnier about Going Solo
- interview by Robert Scoble
- Seesmic Du Jour 107: Stephanie Booth on Getting Things Done (not just about GTD, there’s a piece on Going Solo near the beginning)

Facebook etc.
There are events on Facebook and Upcoming for Going Solo. If you know people who might be interested, invite them (but again — please don’t mass-invite indiscriminately: that’s spamming).
There is also a Going Solo Facebook group, a Going Solo fan page, and a traditional e-mail newsletter. You can also become a fan of Going Far, the company behind Going Solo (and other future like-minded events).
Offline posters! ::new::
Going Solo has cutting-edge PDF posters that you can actually print and stick on vertical surfaces to spread the word in the offline world. Grab a friend and sticky tape, and start printing!
