Thanks for all your effort to make the conference so enriching! I learnt quite a lot new things. Specially thanks to Sara Colombo. I found her session very interesting.

I only experienced problems with audio in one session, but was able to follow the conference anyway.

I enjoyed the event every minute I could attend. A lot of inspiration and useful tips, although I thought, well, our situation is different and everything cannot work in our environment. But it is great to know that things can be different through simple awareness and self-confidence of a translator. Congratulations!


Thank you very much, Drew, for organizing this interesting and useful conference!
Thanks , also, to all the presenters in this great web event dedicated to the translation industry!
Happy International Translation Day to EVERYONE!


Liked the conference, learned new things which is always useful. Thank you!
