Conference feedback

I enjoyed each session I participated in. For the past 4 years, I have been waiting for this event.


Thank you, ProZ.com, for this wonderful, FREE even, that could be attended practically by anyone in or interested in language services. As far as I know, it is the ONLY one of its kind worldwide! That, in itself, is a wonderful offering for all of us in the profession. All presentations provide a state-of-the-art VISION and tools that may be applied immediately. This effort is really admirable. As a presenter and and attendee, I thank the opportunity of bringing my content to others and learning a lot from so many people! Thank you.

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.
