Join the Progressive Policy Institute (PPI) for a convening on the future of work and the global competitiveness of independent workers.

Paul Thanos, International Trade Administration at the U.S. Department of Commerce
Dr. Carl Camden, IPSE – Association of Independent Professionals and the Self-Employed
