It's not the first time that I'm annoyed about the fact that poeple pose as "outsourcers" that are obviously freelancers or individuals seeking work and/or promoting their services rather that being agencies or real outsourcers. Why is this not monitored by proz.com and relevant posts deleted?

While not being able to attend each session for obvious reasons (I am thinking of taking a day off next year!), what I saw and heard being discussed was extremely useful for all translators. Thanks for organising this interesting and relevant event, and for the possibility of downloading individual presentations on demand!
