Conference feedback

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


The event was great! Although I couldn't attend every single session for work reasons, I'm thrilled that we get to have access to the content for another 90 days. I loved how varied the topics were. Well done, ProZ, thank you for a great translator's day!

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.


Very useful, as usual :) Got information about new version of SDL Trados'17.

Drew MacFadyen.. Thank you for this nice event. Unfortuantely, I can not find my pdf attendance for this event. Only 2015 is there in my profile and the details of this year but no certificate whatsoever for 2016. Could you do somethinf about this issue please. Waiting your reply.


The content was great, the chats were great. The only thing we would like to improve is to be able to retrieve the whole chat to review later. There was great information on the collaboration chat this morning, but the history button only gives you a little bit, not all, so we missed some of the info because there were too many participants. Still, it was a great translation day! Thank you!!
