Conference feedback

First of all, I appreciate the opportunity to access the recording of the sessions and watch them at a convenient time. I learned so much tips and valuable information. Thank you so much.


Thank you very much for such a great and wonderful experience. Very well organised and with very interesting presentations.


Thank you for three days of very interesting, useful sessions, such a variety of topics and excellent lecturers. A real treasure for students like me!

The 3-day event is a wonderful opportunity to learn about so many different aspects of the language industry. But, horror of horrors!! At the bottom of the page, a line reads "The following exhibitors are in there booths, ready to answer your questions." Can it be true that at an event for LINGUISTS, this blatant misuse of "there" instead of "their" can appear on your page? Has noone else brought this to your attention? It´s terribly discrediting for your organization to hire people that don´t know how to use "there", "their" and "they´re" properly You need an editor/reviewer, to avoid this from happening again. Let me know if I can be of assistance ;)


I appreciate the opportunity to access the recording of the sessions and watch them at a convenient time, since my time zone was not ideal for following and actively participating. The chats were probably already past peak time when I joined. I hope to be able to follow one of the live sessions on Saturday.

Time From To Content
10:19 Apr 8, 2014 Pavel Tsvetkov: 634408 All VIRTCONF works. In contrast, the code VIRTCONF1 (mentioned here http://www.proz.com/virtual-conferences/604/sales) does not work, so you need to look into it.
10:19 Apr 8, 2014 Drew MacFadyen: 601248 All Thanks Pavel...we will get on that immediately
10:20 Apr 8, 2014 ulzii: 1763290 All hi
10:20 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All what exactly would you like to see in DVX3 regarding QA?
10:20 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All all the 3 codes are working
10:21 Apr 8, 2014 Drew MacFadyen: 601248 All Thanks for checking Blandine
10:21 Apr 8, 2014 Drew MacFadyen: 601248 All Don't forget about the language identification quiz at http://www.proz.com/virtual-conferences/604/program/9460
10:22 Apr 8, 2014 Drew MacFadyen: 601248 All You could win a Deja Vu workgroup license!
10:22 Apr 8, 2014 Lbenito_atril: 1174606 All The discount codes produce different results.
10:22 Apr 8, 2014 Lbenito_atril: 1174606 All I think it depends on what you have in your shopping cart.
10:22 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All normally VIRTCONF is 30% on everything
10:23 Apr 8, 2014 Lbenito_atril: 1174606 All Yeah...
10:23 Apr 8, 2014 Pavel Tsvetkov: 634408 All It did not work the first time I tried, it did work when I tried now. Still, 521.50 EUR seems rather steep. Version x3 came out uncharacteristically quickly after x2, and having to pay that much...
10:23 Apr 8, 2014 Lbenito_atril: 1174606 All Should we explain the differences?
10:24 Apr 8, 2014 Pavel Tsvetkov: 634408 All I am actually contemplating a downgrade from Dejavu x2 Workgroup to Deja vu x3 Pro if the price is substantially better.
10:24 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All there should not be any difference
10:24 Apr 8, 2014 Pavel Tsvetkov: 634408 All Can you make me an offer at [email protected] ?
10:24 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All So that there is no confusion, VIRTCONF is the general code to apply a 30% on all the items you want
10:25 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All sure Pavel, I'll contact you privately.
10:25 Apr 8, 2014 Pavel Tsvetkov: 634408 All Thank you.

10:30 Apr 8, 2014 Lbenito_atril: 1174606 All The next update for DVX3 will include both fixes and some new functionality.
10:31 Apr 8, 2014 Lbenito_atril: 1174606 All For example, it will be possible to export Déjà Vu comments as Office comments using the new Microsoft Office Live filter.
10:32 Apr 8, 2014 Lbenito_atril: 1174606 All The full list of changes will be available on our website after the release of the update.
