Conference feedback

It waw agreat and helpful conference. I'm glad I still ahve to attend the sessions I missed


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?

Unfortunately, very bad timing for me, everything happening overnight in my time zone - very hard to participate and network when one needs to wake up for a day job.

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

Unfortunately, I could participate only in part. But that part was great! Is it possible to retrieve presentations in some way? Thanks!

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!
