At the STC France workshop for freelancers back in September, Samina Arnoult discussed working with "sociétés de portage" as part of her exploration of the different ways of setting up business and freelancing in France. Our January Saveurs & Savoirs meeting will provide a more detailed exploration of the topic - and an excellent opportunity to clear up some outstanding questions and concerns with regards to this increasingly popular work practice, such as access to unemployment benefits, should you experience a drop in your activity.

During the conference we look beyond the boundaries of our profession. Presentations will be given by speakers from varied disciplines such as instruction technology, training, meteorology, engineering and cartography; who will tell us how they go about designing information that people can optimally use. The final session consists of a panel discussion, with all seven presenters answering questions from the audience.

We start at 09:45 hours and end at around 16:15 , after which there is ample time for drinks and informal discussion.
