The language of each event is specified on the event registration page.

Events hosted by Upwork are usually free to attend. If there is a fee -- which is very rare -- we will let you know in advance.

We’re always looking for great talent who are eager to share their expertise with other freelancers. Sign up to become a speaker.

6. What is the difference between official Upwork events and Talent Huddles?

Talent Huddles, on the other hand, are independently-organized gatherings hosted by experienced, Top Rated freelancers in their city.
