The ProZ.com 2015 Polish conference in Kalisz is over, but attendees and others in the Polish industry are still commenting on this event that offered two tracks of sessions in a wide range of topics: challenges and opportunities in online freelancing, what’s new in CAT tools, DTP basics and guidelines, sworn translation examination tips, interpreting techniques and more!

In addition to sessions, this event also offered attendees the opportunity to network through a pre-conference walking tour around Kalisz. Language professionals got together on Friday afternoon and lead by a tourist guide, they visited well-know touristic attractions in Kalisz, including Market Square and the City Hall, where the conference took place on the following day.
The sightseeing tour was followed by a pre-conference dinner at Browar Kaliski, a restaurant and brewery with a fine selection of beer and traditional Polish dishes, and a good night’s sleep before the conference started very early on Saturday morning.
During the conference, Polish translators, interpreters and others in the language industry had full access to ten different sessions, and to coffee-breaks and a lunch that also allowed them to keep networking and having fun.
At the end, after Maja Popęda, the conference organizer, summed up the event and thanked everyone for attending, they all joined for the traditional group photo and dinner at Restauracja Texas, a restaurant in the style of the Wild West and distinguished by diverse American cuisine.
Those who attended the event left with plenty of new opportunities and surely some food for thought. And as days go by, attendees keep reliving those days with feedback comments and suggestions for future events.
