In this lunchtime rapid-fire session, Ginny Cullen, CEO of CASBA shares her experience of working with freelancers: when to hire, how to recruit, how much to pay and how bringing in the right people has created REAL capacity within her organisation.

- Practical tips on getting the best out of freelance relationships
- Honest insights from a CEO who's been there: the good (and the bad)
