A very special trait that makes Proz.com unique is the wonderful tradition of organizing powwows.

Powwows are informal get-togethers of groups of ProZ.com users and the public in general living in close proximity.They provide an opportunity for networking and informal socializing among language professionals--a chance to meet the people behind the profiles.

Let's celebrate Translator's Day together with powwows around the world! Jul 31, 2007

Dear ProZians,

You are invited to come celebrate Translator's Day together with the ProZ.com community at powwows around the world!

A great event is going to take place around the world on the weekend of Translator's Day--September 28, 29 and 30. In cities everywhere, translators will together celebrate their profession at a series of ProZ.com powwows. Collectively, we hope that this will be the largest worldwide gathering of translators and translation students ever!... See more
Dear ProZians,

You are invited to come celebrate Translator's Day together with the ProZ.com community at powwows around the world!

A great event is going to take place around the world on the weekend of Translator's Day--September 28, 29 and 30. In cities everywhere, translators will together celebrate their profession at a series of ProZ.com powwows. Collectively, we hope that this will be the largest worldwide gathering of translators and translation students ever!

Messages will be exchanged from powwow to powwow, making it a unique experience and offering a chance to say Hi! to other colleagues around the world. More details will be provided as the date gets closer, but the first Translators Day powwows have been posted already:

http://www.proz.com/powwows

Never attended a powwow before?

Don't miss this unique opportunity to meet colleagues and reach out across the world with one message. ProZ.com powwows are free, informal events -- all you do is show up! Check the powwow board and sign up for the powwow nearest you.

Don't see any powwows in your area? Suggest one!

If there are no powwows scheduled near you, you can suggest one. If you are a ProZ.com member, or have had your identity verified, starting a powwow in your town can be as easy as choosing a time and place (often a restaurant), and then taking attendance when the event is held. You don't have to promote the event or even speak at it; promotion is handled by ProZ.com, and the events are unscripted. Give it a try – you might be surprised to find out how many ProZians live close by!

Propose your powwow here .

Joining this global celebration will undoubtedly represent a unique, one-time experience. Be part of realizing this extraordinary endeavor!

For more information on taking part, please contact [romina at proz.com]

Following your suggestion, Sole ;-) Aug 16, 2007

Hi guys !

Following the suggestion Soledad made me a few weeks ago, why not gather on September 30th in Lyon for a wee powwow on the occasion of Translator's Day ?
Could be a nice opportunity to get to know each other and enjoy the lifestyle of the French gastronomy capital !

It is very nice to see students organizing powwows already. Some of you attended the the international translator's day powwows last 30th September, and even proposed powwows like Anne and Pablo. Maybe you would like to share your experience with the rest of the StudentZ.
Also, I was thinking...what about organizing powwows with students from your universities in the future?

CheerZ!

We are organising the next one on November 17th (http://www.proz.com/powwow/1679), but it's possible we're going to organise a special Students/Pros powwow, with students from my college, in order for us beginners to meet professional translators. Date must be set, but I'll keep you informed !

Good luck Katharina with your powwow - it's gonna be great ! Don't forget to take pictures !
Sole, a Halloween powwow is a great idea ! I wish I could join, but well, Argentina is just a bit too far away for me

Fan-tas-tic powwow! Oct 12, 2007

A professional/students powwow sounds like a fantastic idea!!!

I saw that many professionals have signed up at Katharina's powwow, so there will be a nice experience exchange there too.

It would be terrific that other students and translators grew keen on this idea, and we had in many parts of the world these rich meetings in which students could get in contact with professional translators! I am sure that if other students proposed powwows, many of the translators in

It would be terrific that other students and translators grew keen on this idea, and we had in many parts of the world these rich meetings in which students could get in contact with professional translators! I am sure that if other students proposed powwows, many of the translators in our large community would be interested in attending.

I think it would be awsome...

Does anyone feel like going for it?
Just say hey!

Kisses to all,
