Thank you ProZ.com for this great event. I learned many things. I can't wait for next year's virtual conference!


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!

Thanks for yet another virtual conference.
Being "down under", many of the sessions happen in the middle of the night, so I really appreciate that they are made accessible on demand after the event.

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 interesting!

15:14 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All Now, how do you offer your offers? (not for singing)
15:14 Jun 6, 2014 starlightaloud: 1624756 All what's with Girls Aloud, Peter?! crush on one of their members?
15:15 Jun 6, 2014 Barbara Carrara: 934537 All Sorry. Wasn't referring to GA (I don't really know who they are), but to me being late in joining...
15:15 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All Not at all. They're too loud for me. It just happened I know the name.
15:15 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All Pop group.
15:16 Jun 6, 2014 Barbara Carrara: 934537 All Thought as much. Thanks. Not sure I wish to explore that any further (hehe!)
15:16 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All Girls group, I think that category is called. Like the Sugarbabes, I think, but not really.
15:16 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All Oh, as far as I know, they're not a disaster.

15:17 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All One thing I would want to add: be carefull when negotiating with different currencies. I'm always loosing money when I trade with Swiss.
15:17 Jun 6, 2014 Lucia Leszinsky: 855539 All Welcome back Manuela!
15:18 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All Isn't there a moderator in this group?
15:18 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All I'm just asking, because in the previous group all at a sudden the discussion fell flat, and there was nobody suggesting a new theme or angle.
15:19 Jun 6, 2014 starlightaloud: 1624756 All euro is my preferred currency
15:19 Jun 6, 2014 Lucia Leszinsky: 855539 All No, Peter, no moderator. Why? Do we need one?
15:19 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All Mine too, but Swiss don't use them.
15:19 Jun 6, 2014 starlightaloud: 1624756 All oh, didn't know that
15:19 Jun 6, 2014 Lucia Leszinsky: 855539 All I'm sure we can all keep the conversation going... This topic is one of the most discussed ones in fact
15:19 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All Well, as I've said: to get us back on track a bit when we run out of inspiration.
15:19 Jun 6, 2014 César Yamandú Sánchez Franco: 35323 All :)
15:20 Jun 6, 2014 Lucia Leszinsky: 855539 All Let's do this: if you guys run out of inspiration, I'll jump in and push the conversation forward, deal?
