I really enjoyed the conference, I think you did a great job. Very little freezing or slowdowns, interesting conferences. I can't wait until you start offering them in other languages, it will be good for the profession. Thanks a lot! Barbara

It's 2 a.m. in India and I just left the conference! Many thank to ProZ.com staff for organising this event and I hope it will be repeated at least once or twice a year.
I will post more feedback in the survey tomorrow.
Thanks again,
Niraja

Thank you for all your efforts, an interesting experience indeed!

| I fully agree with the thread title: Congratulations! | Sep 30, 2009 |
I set aside the day and attended in full, and I feel I must point out to some points:
The "refresh and reload page: Have been inactive for (I think) 30 minutes", should not happen -maybe this was due to overloading -there were an awful lot of people. But if this happens (strangely) more than once, and in some cases in a chat in some of the booths, it is pretty frustrating. Anyway, and taking into account that this was the first one ever), full marks.

Anyway, and taking into account that this was the first one ever), full marks.
Of course, I would expect the transcriptions for the conferences to be available on line, asap. This one is classical, even for the "in the flesh" events: You cannot attend everyone (and in this case I would have loved to do so)
Besides, to have representatives for the "exhibitors" more or less freely available (and much more than through "customer support, or whatever) has also been a boon. The level of some of them has also been impressive, and I did not expect so many big heads available on the chat.
The other problem was the chats themselves: I must confess that I see no solution to that, but when you have a chat with a sponsor's representative and there are eight or ten people at a time, matters can get a bit confusing, and delays unavoidable (and for the representatives themselves, who were outnumbered by the visitors, thus losing sight of a particular conversation at times, quite a bit annoying).
Repeating myself: Full marks for the event. These are minor hitches, but I think you would be interested in knowing about them. ▲ Collapse

Very interesting presentations and a special feeling to know that so many translators were listening at the same time.
I am sure that future conferences will be even more interesting and interactive.
BTW, where is the survey?
Congratulations!

A great experience, beeing my first virtual conference.
I really enjoyed the interesting session "ProZ.com and the future of the translation industry" by Henry Dotterer.
Thanks and best regards

| | | | | Fantastic virtual conference! | Sep 30, 2009 |
Thank you all for organizing such a great ProZ.com virtual conference! It was fantastic from the beginning to the end! I enjoyed everything - most of all the interesting sessions, as well as the contacts I got, both freelancers as my self and outsourcers. As a speaker before me just said: You can be as proud as I am thankful.
Congratulations all!
