We couldn’t be happier. We feel we have met your expectations with this first international conference. On behalf of APTRAD board we just hope you enjoyed this event as much as we did organising it. It was demanding and hard-working of course, but it was hugely rewarding.

We are just giving our baby steps, but we promise to keep working hard to stand up for our beloved profession, in Portugal and abroad.

Thank you to all the participants for making this a wonderful event of sharing. You did prove that our community is growing stronger together each day.

The speakers were among the key pillars of our conference. They were the voice of our industry and expressed brilliantly many of our opinions and perspectives. Many thanks to each one of them!

Also, a very important word of appreciation you to our conference sponsors, Smartidiom, memoQ, MatCat, Wordfast, SDL and ISCAP for their remarkable support and to our partners ABRATES, AGPTI, ASETRAD, ELIA, IntelliWebSearch, Interlex Language Services, ITI, Mediterranean Editors and Translators (MET), ProZ.com, SINTRA, and Websites for Translators for their support in promoting this event to their members and contacts. We cannot thank them enough.
