I will be in NY June 27- August 4 May 12, 2008

I'd like to organize a powwow there in order to meet you dear American colleagues!

Suggestions are welcome!

NY Pow-wow May 29, 2008

Dear colleagues,
I will be visiting the US in July, and hope to attend. However, we (my wife and I) have not yet settled on a "program" for our visit. More news to follow.
In the meantime, with best regards, Nico (DutchEnglish translator living in Germany)

Hi Maria May 29, 2008

Thanks, Maria, for the welcoming message. As stated, I have never been to the US before, so everything is new to, including NY and the venue for meeting. Any ideas about the venue?
Also, what is your language combination? Do you have any specialisations?

With regards,
Nico.

Hi Nico May 29, 2008

call me Antonella, pls!! Maria Antonietta is too long:)
Well, Angio and I will be there on 28th June but so far we have not decided either a date nor a place for the powwow. We will keep you all informed about that. Of course, any tips from our colleagues there is welcome.
(My language pairs are English and Spanish into Italian)

Hi Angio May 29, 2008

As with Antonella, many thanks (mille grazie; muchas gracias) for the welcome!
If I have understood correctly, you (and perhaps Antonella) will be in New York from the 28th June onwards. The family and I will be flying on the 7th July, and taking a few days into account to settle in, the 13th July would suit me fine. I recently attended a pow-wow in Nijmegen (NL), which was a great success. It is nice to meet fellow-professionals, and it is always handy to pick up a few tips, even for myself (in the business since 1979).
By way of (further) introduction, I consider myself a technical communicator, because, in addition to technical, medical and scientific translations, I do software and web site localisation, and technical authoring. As a hobby, I dabble a bit in XML and XHTML.
So much for my introduction. It's back to work now.
With best regards,
Nico.

Anything definitive? Jun 16, 2008

Hello there,

Nico again. Just a quick question: is the 13th July certain now? I am asking this in connection with some planning for my stay in the States.
Angio, could you please give an update? Also, any idea of the venue/restaurant/hotel where the pow-wow will take place?
With best regards,
Nico.

Hi Nico Jun 16, 2008

I think 13 July can be considered certain, as for the venue I'd prefer to look for it when I'll be there, unless some colleagues can provide a suggestion, but now they sleep, maybe it's better to wait our afternoon for a better update and suggestions of our American colleagues ok? :=)

WE days Jun 20, 2008

I only wish to ask if it would it be possible not to organise the meeting on week-end day. I know it's hard, but I try...
