This year, Fiverr’s International Freelancer Day embraced the theme “A World of Human Talent,” focusing on the human expertise driving innovation and success across the platform. Anchoring the day was a two-hour virtual summit, though freelancers were celebrated with a series of engagements including a handful of in-person events. Clients were also encouraged to recognize their freelancers with personalized thank-you messages, fostering better connections and appreciation. Learn more about the full day here. The virtual summit featured insights from industry leaders and Fiverr executives, including CEO Micha Kaufman. "Humans Are Our Business: Freelance Leaders on the Future of the Industry," covered topics like the role of human talent in a tech-driven world, taking the plunge to full-time freelancing, and building long-term client relationships.
“The event celebrated human talent and creativity in a world that often seems obsessed with machines and robots. Even when the speakers did talk about AI, they emphasized that, at the end of the day, it’s still us humans who are driving the freelance economy. It was so refreshing to attend an event that gave the focus back to us and our unique, creative human intelligence.”
