This was the first time I attended to a Proz Virtual Conference, and I must say I enjoyed each and every presentation. Thank you!

I loved the session on interpreting with a tablet and also the one about the Burmese language. I took the time to review my Proz profile too! Thanks for your professionalism!

I really appreciate the efforts and all the sessions offered. Great event.


Thanks for yet another virtual conference.
Being "down under", many of the sessions happen in the middle of the night, so I really appreciate that they are made accessible on demand after the event.
