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!

Great virtual event series. Thanks for this refreshment program.


Great event, really interesting and unusual tips & tricks too!

11:31 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All I did not think about this before, but since it is a very special event we need to be reactive
11:32 Apr 8, 2014 Pavel Tsvetkov: 634408 All It was long argued that Trados upgrades were more frequent than Deja vu upgrades, but his has changed as well.
11:32 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All Epa: that is indeed something we're considering, but not for the immediate future
