Conference feedback

Very interesting and useful. I used to see terms like transcreation and copywriting without knowing exactly what they refer to. I appreciated the tips about earning more and building relationships. I thank Proz.com and all speakers for their time and help. God willing, I expect to attend the next Proz.com virtual conference for International Translation Day as usual.

It was really cool!


I had the pleasure of contributing to the event and of attending one of them - very good range of topics. If I had been able to take the day off I would have accessed more of the presentations in real time. Great coordination Drew!

I loved the session on interpreting with a tablet and also the one about the Burmese language. I took the time to review my Proz profile too! Thanks for your professionalism!

10:37 Apr 8, 2014 Ali Bayraktar: 710657 All My question will be simple
