10 reasons to attend
the 7th ProZ.com
international
conference in Prague
Dear carasen12
The ProZ.com 7th international
conference will be taking place this
year in Prague, Czech Republic, from
October 1st to 4th. How quick do
you think investing the amount
of the conference fee in
professional development will
pay back if you learn at least one
trick from colleagues that will
help increase your efficiency by
even as little as 5%?
Perhaps you can get your money
back even faster by meeting
potential business partners who
might give you a translation project
within 1 week after the conference
just because they now know you in
person.
Are you sure you want to miss this
chance? Are you sure attending the
conference can never be a win
situation for you? If you are still in
doubt, here are ten more reasons
why attending the event will not be a
loss:

professional translators and
interpreters from the ProZ.com
community this year;
2. It is a highly powerful socializing
and networking opportunity. You will
be able to step from virtual to

better understand your clients,
build a stronger relationship with
them, and enpower collaboration and

communication;
5. The even features the the theme
of the state and future of the
translation profession and how
translators can achieve the prestige
and recognition they deserve. Don't
miss the opening session on 'the
Future of the Translation Profession"
and the closing session "The Future
of Our Profession: What to do -
accept, adapt or choose another
occupation...";
6. You will learn all about Translation
Office 3000 from Vitaly Pedchenko

Advanced International Translations.

8. There will be a cruise gala dinner
on Saturday evening - yet another
great networking opportunity! You
