Conference feedback

It was really cool!


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


The content was great, the chats were great. The only thing we would like to improve is to be able to retrieve the whole chat to review later. There was great information on the collaboration chat this morning, but the history button only gives you a little bit, not all, so we missed some of the info because there were too many participants. Still, it was a great translation day! Thank you!!

Hi Henry. I am the guy living um Portugal with 20 years in aviation that you mentioned in your presentation. :-)
Thanks so much for putting these great materials together for us. I am surely becoming a paid member soon and will tell some friends to do the same, as it is really worth the buck. Congratulations for success of Proz and keep up the excellent work you guys do!

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!
