Freelance Business Week Buffalo organizer, Coach for Aspiring Freelancers and Founder of

Marie’s experience with Freelance Business Week has added tremendous value to the work
she’s doing within the local freelance, startup and small business community. In 2020, she
worked closely with coworking spaces across WNY to help host the event and had over 300
registrants from Buffalo in 2020 despite the pandemic.
“This year’s theme is incredibly important,” says Domon. “All Freelance Business Week
Organizers agreed that we want to focus on the future rather than the past and current state of
the world. It’s more important now than ever to see The Future of Freelance. We must be more
intentional, have a positive impact, and never forget our purpose.”
Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown states, “Over the course of the last year we have witnessed the
growing importance of freelance businesses and gig workers to our overall economy. These
entrepreneurs have become a central component of the City’s recovery and ensured that the
economy was able to remain strong during this challenging year.
The return of Freelance Business Week to Buffalo is a sign of our return to a more normalized economy and is a further demonstration of the enterprising spirit that is critical to Buffalo’s success.” Mayor Byron Brown will deliver an official proclamation on Monday, April 19, at 11:30 AM EST declaring April 19-23, 2021 Freelance Business Week in Buffalo, NY.
