Conference feedback

Amazing event. I really enjoyed it!!!


Great event! I have learned so much about different translation tools (since I haven't used any of them yet), so much useful information!


It's the second time in a row that this event makes my Translation Day something to look forward to! Great presentations, lots of insightful comments and conversations. The only wish for the future would be having more companies and direct clients invited to this event, as it is a huge opportunity for all of us to network.
As a presenter I would like to thank Drew for support and professionalism, and all the audience - for their attention and interesting questions. Thank you!

Thank you, ProZ.com, for this wonderful, FREE even, that could be attended practically by anyone in or interested in language services. As far as I know, it is the ONLY one of its kind worldwide! That, in itself, is a wonderful offering for all of us in the profession. All presentations provide a state-of-the-art VISION and tools that may be applied immediately. This effort is really admirable. As a presenter and and attendee, I thank the opportunity of bringing my content to others and learning a lot from so many people! Thank you.
