Conference feedback

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!

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!
