Conference feedback

Very useful, thank you very much.

I found the conference very useful, especially for those (like me) that are learning the ropes on CAT tools. Like a colleague has already said, I will review the videos, as the info was overwhelming. I'm happy to be on Proz.com and being able to attend these sessions (and free, which is important for freelancers ;) ) Thank you.

Good morning,
Many thanks for the opportunity to stay in touch with the developments in the translation field, while I only had the opportunity to follow just a presentation by Mrs. Braeuer on 30th Sept. I am glad to have had a look at the current trends, thanks very much!

Useful, inspiring and to the point, thank you for the opportunity!


Amazing sessions from free tools to mistakes to avoid to managing client expectations (to name a few). Great added value and by far the best way to celebrate Translator's Day. Many thanks!
