Thank you for well organized and very informative conferences. I found them useful for my professional development. I am very satisfied with this event.


I had a chance to attend a few really great business and marketing sessions, both in English a Polish. Very interesting and informative.

This virtual conference has been an amazing opportunity to learn from experienced, smart, successful ProZanians through a multitude of free training sessions. Also, the opportunities offered to meet fellow translators through virtual Pwwows, potential clients and all the $avings offered during the conference are hard to match.
Drew has been amazing in making sure (and succeeding) that everything is perfect and taking time to communicate with us. Thank you so much Drew!!

IMHO the large number of visitors of the events speaks clearly of the interests of the translation community. Good preparation ends up in good organization! 10x for the efforts and knowledge shared with us!
