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!

It was stunning. The conference was really one of a kind. I really got much benefit from this conference. Thanks to you it was a unique conference hoping to have such an experience again. Many thanks Proz.


I enjoyed learning many aspects of the translation profession during the annual virtual event for Translators very much. Thank you so much for organising such an important event on annual basis for us to update our knowledge and skills.


Thanks a lot for this free and very useful event.
