If you own your own creative business, you're probably interested in learning how to make more money doing what you're already doing.

There's plenty of time for answering questions, looking at each attendees individual approaches, and making sure you have a clear view of how to make your business more profitable.

The LessMoney Conference is run by Allan Branch and Steve Bristol from LessEverything. They build LessEverything from scratch to a company that does over a million dollars a year in web consulting work plus over half a million dollars from their applications. According to them:

After blogging for a few years about running our business we noticed the highest traffic blog post were the ones where we talked in depth about the challenges we faced. So in late 2011, we decided to host a few small workshops about the business side of freelancing and growing a web consultancy (design or development shop).

Other conference speakers include Geoff DiMasi, of p'unkave, Carl Smith of ngen works, and Chad Pytel of Thoughtbot. They'll reveal all their secrets for running a more successful, more enjoyable business. And see what some past Conference attendees have had to say about the LessMoney Conference:
