Conference feedback

Even though I was not able to attend all sessions due to relevant reasons, I would like to thank deeply all people who have done their best for the success of the conference. It was my first time to attend such conference of high level, and I have to say that I have learned a lot due to the diversity of topics. This is another way of refreshing our mind. Once again thank you for the possibility of downloading individual presentation on demand.

While not being able to attend each session for obvious reasons (I am thinking of taking a day off next year!), what I saw and heard being discussed was extremely useful for all translators. Thanks for organising this interesting and relevant event, and for the possibility of downloading individual presentations on demand!

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.
