ProZ.com powwow: Vancouver Powwow 2010 - Meet and GreetOctober 10, 2010, 9:00 am CanadaVancouverIn personEnglish My name is Tom Groendal. I recently moved to Vancouver. Until April of this year I lived in Osaka, Japan. I hosted 4 powwows there and found them to be a pleasant opportunity to get to know a few translators, agents, etc., make connections and complain about my boss! (The worst part of self-employment) The Powwow is planned for: - When and where Sunday, October 10th 16:00-19:00 - Where Steamworks in Gastown - Who I will open this up to translators/agencies in the Vancouver Metropolitan area. If it grows beyond our capacity, I will cap participation on a first come first serve basis. -What we'll do I am not planning any group discussions or other organized activities for the first Powwow, just a simple chance to get together. I will provide some discussion questions as conversation starters and hopefully we can do self-intros. I would simply ask that people bring as many business cards as there are participants. *Find out your Proz number as well, so I can record your attendance! - Guests If you are bringing a non-Proz member or anyone else that is not listed on this site as attending, please be sure to let me know by e-mail or phone ahead of time so I can update reservations. - STIBC I will also contact the people at STIBC and ask them to be available and bring some materials about their organization. I believe it is the primary if not only BC based professional organization in our field. - Food Drinks and food will be purchased individually. - Me If for some reason you want to know who I am, you can find more information at www.qolity.org I look forward to hearing from you. |

Bingoloo | Nando is fine for me. Steamwork? eh... just so-so. Anyhow, it is difficult to pick a food to meet everyone's taste, isn't it? I will suggest an all-you-can-eat Japanese restaurant. | |||
