What you will learn

Brooke has built an entire career on contract work, moving from one major global event to the next rather than staying in a single permanent role. This session tackles the fear that keeps many ticketing professionals from making that leap, and shows you what a career built entirely on contract work can actually look like.

  • Your reputation is your currency. How to build a long, successful career in ticketing without ever holding a permanent position
  • Leaving ego at the door. What it actually takes to move from one major global event to the next, from the Olympics to FIFA World Cups to regional festivals
  • It's not always easy or fun but it's never boring. How to manage the practical realities of contract work, including gaps between contracts, building a reputation, and staying employable
  • Learnings and second chances. Why contract work can be a strength rather than a risk, and how to make that case to yourself and to anyone considering the same path
