It's the second time in a row that this event makes my Translation Day something to look forward to! Great presentations, lots of insightful comments and conversations. The only wish for the future would be having more companies and direct clients invited to this event, as it is a huge opportunity for all of us to network.
As a presenter I would like to thank Drew for support and professionalism, and all the audience - for their attention and interesting questions. Thank you!

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!

Time	From	To	Content
13:30 Jun 6, 2014	Nicole Y. Adams, M.A.: 117097	All	Someone already does that, Lucia. I can't find the URL now, but I think it's a great idea.
13:30 Jun 6, 2014	Nicole Y. Adams, M.A.: 117097	All	(tech services)
13:31 Jun 6, 2014	starlightaloud: 1624756	All	audio guides also have to be translated ;)
13:31 Jun 6, 2014	Nicole Y. Adams, M.A.: 117097	All	Found it: http://www.qabiria.com/index.php/en/services/for-translators/technical-services-for-translators.html
13:31 Jun 6, 2014	Lucia Leszinsky: 855539	All	I think tech services could be a good option, right? We have certain tech knowledge that we acquired out of necessity and that others don't (maybe yet), so why not charging for those skills?
13:31 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	DTP. Interesting. I wanted to add that as an extra service for my clients. The idea was not actually to do DTP, because that's a highly specalised field. Moreover, if you want to do DTP, you should ask yourself some questions like: how am I getting photograpsh? Drawings? I know some people who do DTP work, and they all have an arts education.
13:32 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	Voice overs and so on demand a good voice, and some acting talent. Actors will tell you that half of the acting is speaking. That explains why so often singers try their hands at acting.
13:32 Jun 6, 2014	Lucia Leszinsky: 855539	All	Interesting Nicole.
13:33 Jun 6, 2014	starlightaloud: 1624756	All	that is true Paul, but it can be a way to go for some translators
13:33 Jun 6, 2014	starlightaloud: 1624756	All	depending on their background
13:34 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	Tech services, would that be an hourly rate?
13:34 Jun 6, 2014	Paulinho Fonseca: 1488575	All	Good questions Peter?
13:34 Jun 6, 2014	starlightaloud: 1624756	All	Sorry, I meant Peter, not Paul
13:34 Jun 6, 2014	Lucia Leszinsky: 855539	All	Not sure, it sounds more like something you would charge by final product perhaps?
13:36 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	Yes, but if you would be paid by the word for eg a terminology list, than you might end up with a necessarily high word price. I think some of those tech services should be paid by the hour, and done on the client's site, so that he can notice your charging him a ligitimate amount of hours.
13:37 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	Hey, that's annoying: the link to the list of specialities dissappeared from my screen. But it's a list of Proz.com itself. It should be easily found.
13:38 Jun 6, 2014	Lucia Leszinsky: 855539	All	sENDING IT AGAIN, ONE SEC...
13:39 Jun 6, 2014	Lucia Leszinsky: 855539	All	Oooops, sorry about the caps : :8
13:39 Jun 6, 2014	Lucia Leszinsky: 855539	All	here it is: http://wiki.proz.com/wiki/index.php/Services
13:39 Jun 6, 2014	Lucia Leszinsky: 855539	All	Remember that you can contribute to that list as well.
13:39 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	Thank you.
13:39 Jun 6, 2014	Lucia Leszinsky: 855539	All	;)
13:40 Jun 6, 2014	Henry Dotterer: 1	All	About diversifying our client base ...
13:41 Jun 6, 2014	starlightaloud: 1624756	All	ok, copywriting should definitely not be the only kind of writing in this list
13:42 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	Mmm, I consider translating and writing (whatever kind) as two very different beasts.
