Conference feedback

Great event, really interesting and unusual tips & tricks too!
Translation tools and strategies for freelance were, imho, the best points.


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!

Thank you, ProZ, for the perfect event!


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.

Excellent!! Very useful, Thank You!!!


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.
