This summit has been "pure gold" in knowledge for me.

 - Ingrid D.A.

It opened my world to new techniques, tools and methods.

- Mónica L.

Being able to pick presentations, and pick when to watch them. I also loved that they were short. AND FREE!

— María B.

Thank you so much for this awesome conference. It did not feel like a typical online event, this felt like being offline together all 3 days.

- Antje S.

I always love how people come together and advise each other, offering knowledge and experience and everything nice! I also like the freedom recorded sessions give, to watch at your own pace, and their length of 20 minutes is ideal!

— Danae P.

The Summit had a great impact on me, both as a translator and as a business owner. I didn't see myself as more than a service provider, but having a different perspective from the greats really spun things around for me.

- Leonardo T.
