Thanks, interesting talks, useful tips. Well organized!


I really enjoyed this event and hope you'll be planning many more of them. It's refreshing to attend présentations that give you information in ways that you can apply to your work. I learned a lot from this event. Thank you to all involved.

Thank you very much for the opportunity to attend the Conference. I got a lot of information and helpful tips. Congratulations to the Proz team that made it possible!


I wasn't able to see all the conferences I wanted due to the different time zones but I enjoyed the few I attended! Thank you!


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.
