Conference feedback

I found the conference very useful, especially for those (like me) that are learning the ropes on CAT tools. Like a colleague has already said, I will review the videos, as the info was overwhelming. I'm happy to be on Proz.com and being able to attend these sessions (and free, which is important for freelancers ;) ) Thank you.
