Thanks for the event, I met some interesting people through this. As for the issue with Konstantin following up on his promise, if you\'re going to complain about his methods then it would be professional to do so in private. Again, thanks for the event.

Konstantin,

I sort of agree with Oliver on this one. We spoke briefly at the powwow, but I was not one of those who was informed about the webinar, and it so happens that it is not particularly relevant to me. So your message was the equivalent of spam as far as I was concerned.

I think that a better route would possibly have been to take the details of everyone who expressed an interest, then send them all a message privately with details of the webinar.

Best,
Roland

Thank you for the recent update about webinars, it's a very useful information!

Hi Oliver,

Thanks for your comment. It was a pleasure to meet you at the powwow and I appreciate your vigilance on behalf of Proz.com. :)

I discussed this webinar with many of the people we met at the powwow and a number of them showed interest in finding out more. I promised to update them when the webinar is ready - hence the posting here.

Obviously, if you feel that strongly about this, you are of course welcome to contact the site team regarding this horrific breach of the rules. :)

Enjoy the rest of your weekend,

Konstantin

Hey guys,

I remember speaking to a few of you about my upcoming series of webinars covering the business aspect of translation.

You can check out the first one here:

Hope to see you there!

And many thanks to Kerstin for organising!

It was such a nice afternoon. Good to see some familiar faces and meet new fellow translators too!

And thanks Jean-Louis for the photos!

Great to meet so many people and exchange ideas/queries. Would the lady who told me about her accountants and who I talked about tax issues with kindly send me her details. Thanks and kind regards, Gill

It's a pity I was unable to join you. Hopefully next time.
I'll have a look at the pics that should be great fun.

Best wishes to you all and especially to Kerstin for organising the Powwow.

Dear Kerstin,

I\'m sorry I couldn\'t make it in the end- we just bought a flat, so we spent most of the weekend looking at renovation needs and buying materials.

Hopefully I\'ll be there next time.

Hello everybody,

and thank you, Jean-Francois, for putting up the pictures (see www.proz.com/powwow_report/3074)!

The next powwow on 27 March is ready for sign-up. I still have to book the room but hopefully there won\'t be a problem.

Hope to see you all next month and do send me your ideas for topics etc.

Best wishes,
Kerstin

When I arrived, at nearly 4 pm (because of delays to trains), I estimated there were about 25 people, all talking noisily and happily. Pace Flo: I spoke to people from at least: Russia, Germany, Mexico, Spain, France, China, perhaps also UK!

Hello All! Nice to see you guys, photos of the event on their way soon - have to do a bit of cropping and resizing first!

Best!

Sorry I couldn't make it - I had to work. I have promised myself that I will be there next time!

My apologies for not being able to attend; unfortunately, work had to take precedence. I really do look forward to being able to attend the next one. Keep up the good work, Kerstin.

I\'m gutted I couldn\'t make it once again - we were invited to a birthday party this time. I really hope I will be able to attend the next powwow. Thank you, Kerstin for continuing the tradition.
Katharina

I ended up having to work. My apologies. I will be looking forward to the next one.

I really enjoyed my first meet. Thanks to the organiser and everyone there, you were so friendly. I got lots of tips and ideas from people I talked to. I plan to go to more meets in the future. Hope to see you all again.

This was my first powwow and I had a great time meeting very interesting people. Thanks again Kerstin for organising it!

Many thanks to Kerstin for organising the powwow - I really enjoyed meeting you all!

Best wishes, David

I'm very glad I attended my very first powwow, and it was a warm and professional experience! Lots of things have been discussed and ideas shared. I really hope we'll keep in touch.

Looking forward to seeing the pictures!

Many thanks Kerstin for organising such a stimulating event.

I don\'t think I\'ve ever spoken to so many people of so many nationalities in such a short period of time! It was great fun! I look forward to the next one :-)
