Hi everyone,

Just to check, I am expecting the following people at the Powwow tonight: Sonia Sánchez Moreno (may be late), Hans Hatton, Margherita Angelucci + friend, Marc (mmb42). I booked a table for 4 yesterday but I am sure they can squeeze a couple more people in, it looks like a fairly big place :)

Hello and welcome to all the people who have recently expressed an interest in attending this Powwow.

I would like to suggest that we have this Powwow at a ramen restaurant called Ikkoryu Fukuoka Ramen ( [url removed] ). The address is 27 Russel Street, Melbourne, and it is a relatively short walk from Flinders Street Station. The Powwow will start at 6:30 pm.

Please let me know if you have any dietary requirements (since the restraurant may not be suitable then), and please confirm if you are attending on Friday, as I will try to book us a table.

Thank you!

Hi jinahkim,

Thanks for being interested in the Powwow! I have put the date as the last Friday in April - could you make it then or will you be out of the country? I haven't picked a location yet but it will be a restaurant somewhere in the city centre.

Hi all!

I think Melbourne is long overdue for a Powwow so I decided to organise one. Things that I would be happy to discuss:
* NAATI accreditation and planned changes to the process
* ProZ international conference in Stockholm in 2016, which I attended
* Upcoming short courses in T&I at Monash University

...And anything else that people would like to talk about!

Hi Sofia!

It is good to hear about Melbourne Powwow. I would love to attend!
If it is between May 1st and May 16th, I would be able to participate and meet other translators to share ideas.
Well, for me, Sydney would be a better venue but Melbourne is also fine. I would be glad to talk about the following with the participants:
- NAATI accreditation and prep tips
- What one can expect from MA degree in T&I
- Audiovisual translation which is one of my specialties (As this is a not very general topic for translators, I would like to talk about it only if others wish to, as well.)

Hope more to join!

Fingers crossed.
