Orthodox Jews are prohibited from attending the Conference which is on the Sabbath Nov 8, 2005

Hi, I just thought I would add that Orthodox Jews, such as myself, are prohibited from participating on these activities on the Sabbath. Perhaps the PROZ people should plan events to be held in the middle of the week so people like me can attend.

late sessions Nov 8, 2005

I would really agree to "working late", if it meant that I could attend as many sessions of interest to me as possible. There are cases when it was easy for me to choose, which one I attend if both are scheduled at the same time, but there is a case where I'm actually torn three ways and unable to choose, namely Wordfast Training II, Word as a Tool..., and Earning High Rates.

So far, we received confirmation from Yves Champollion, the creator of Wordfast - he will run a WF workshop and also deliver a keynote speach! WF (and other CAT tools) have been always very high up on the wish list of particpants, so I hope it's a good news for everybody

I wanted to attend all 3 of these sessions as well. It will be a tough choice if they cannot be changed, but I understand that it must be very difficult to arrange a schedule that doesn't clash with someone's interests.

Sure, here it is:

There will be a dinner for all conference participants on Friday, at 8pm at the hotel. It will be a buffet style dinner, so we will all be able to mingle and talk to as much people as we like. The menu is already chosen - among hot dishes there will be a selection from fish, turkey and vegetarian casserole, plus a soup, vegetable salads, sweets, etc. A glass of wine as well .

IMPORTANT:
The dinner is included in the conference fee.
Those of you who arrive together with accompanying persons and would like to invite them to the dinner, will be requested to pay PLN60 (~€15) per each additional person at the registration.


I hope the dinner will be a great networking opportunity as well as a bit of much needed entertainment after a long conference day.

Magda

Talk summary posted Nov 20, 2005

Hi folks,

For reasons to complicated to relate, I may not be able to attend the conference next weekend.

This morning I posted a one-page PDF summary of the presentation that people might want to download.

I still hope to see you all in a week's time, though.

Cheers,

Giles

New sessions added to the program Nov 21, 2005

Dear All,
Some new sessions have been added to the program and a small rescheduling as well to accomodate some of your requests.
I hope you will welcome a session on free alternatives for office software, focus group for Food & Wine translators and a small workshop on Metatexis.
Please go to the conference page to see the full program.

I know that the program doesn't come out nicely in print, but please don't worry about that: you will all receive printed programs.

Best,
Magda
