We have finalized the White Dinner Party menu for Friday night.

Check out the menu on the conference site: https://www.wordfast.com/conference/2022/networking

We also slightly updated the program. Jamie Lucero is going to show you how to build your own custom machine translation engine using the open-source Opus-CAT MT (instead of Microsoft) and then deploy it in Wordfast. We also added a Wordfast Classic session on Friday afternoon and may add some additional Classic sessions if there is enough interest. See the full program here: https://www.wordfast.com/conference/2022/program

Still need to book a flight to Dubrovnik or Tivat (the closest airports)? Book with the Lufthansa airline group using our special group rate: https://www.wordfast.com/conference/2022/venue_and_travel

Finally—and this only concerns translators based in France—two of our attendees have received notification that their requests to have the conference registration fees reimbursed by the FIF-PL have been approved. Take advantage of your professional training funds: you can get reimbursed for up to €1,200 worth of professional training in 2022. Find out more here: https://www.fifpl.fr/. We will send you all the documents you need to submit a reimbursement request once you have registered.

Still hesitating? I just spoke with Ruth Simpson (https://www.wordharmony.fr/) who will be attending WFF for the third time and this is what she told me: “I made some great contacts at the conference, and one in particular has led to over €13,000 in business and is still going strong! I even had the chance to be a speaker at WFF18, and I developed the 50-minute session I gave there into a full-day training workshop that I have since sold on several occasions.”

We hope to see you in May, and don’t forget to register before early bird pricing ends tomorrow, February 18th at midnight (GMT+2): https://www.wordfast.com/conference/2022/register_now

That's great that this option is here now. Since 2020 many events are going hybrid. Look forward to it!
