Conference feedback

It was stunning. The conference was really one of a kind. I really got much benefit from this conference. Thanks to you it was a unique conference hoping to have such an experience again. Many thanks Proz.


Great event! I have learned so much about different translation tools (since I haven't used any of them yet), so much useful information!


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!

Hi Henry. I am the guy living um Portugal with 20 years in aviation that you mentioned in your presentation. :-)
Thanks so much for putting these great materials together for us. I am surely becoming a paid member soon and will tell some friends to do the same, as it is really worth the buck. Congratulations for success of Proz and keep up the excellent work you guys do!

16:28 Apr 8, 2014 Etienne Tessier: 1828111 All I would recommend you to use bookmark (ctrl+F2 or "New bookmark)

16:29 Apr 8, 2014 Etienne Tessier: 1828111 All This way, next time you would open your project, you could skip directly to the segment you were last on

16:29 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All Hmmm... when you reopen a project, it should open to the segment where you last were.
