Conference feedback

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.

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!

I enjoyed learning many aspects of the translation profession during the annual virtual event for Translators very much. Thank you so much for organising such an important event on annual basis for us to update our knowledge and skills.


Thanks so much to everbody who made this happened. It was so valuable for me <3

I couldn't attend, but I wish I could watch the videos on demand. However, those who couldn't attend can't watch them, even if they have a paid membership. It does not make sense.

Very useful and interesting!
