As I mentioned, some of those were really superior and taught me respect for tools that I am otherwise not overly enthusiastic about. This year the web site information has been a bit slow with updates and suffered a little date confusion, but I know the organizers have been having one of those Multitasking Summers from Hell. I ought to be more on top of the details myself, but I've been buried in other stuff like finishing the draft of my book. But I've seen enough already to know that it will be a worthwhile road trip across those great new Polish freeways that aren't mapped in my navigation system (tip to anyone driving: be very sure to update your maps, as everything changed in mid-summer... I spent several hours after midnight trying to find an onramp not closed by construction as I returned to Berlin from Warsaw....)Kevin Lossnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14727800526216764023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20155610.post-21380229681760868052012-09-08T13:44:25.186+01:002012-09-08T13:44:25.186+01:00This year, Daniel Benito and Yves Champillon are n...This year, Daniel Benito and Yves Champillon are not among speakers/attendees, or have I misread the program?<br />Valerij Tomarenkohttp://www.tomarenko.de/Blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20155610.post-28904628097912471792012-09-06T23:45:05.803+01:002012-09-06T23:45:05.803+01:00Maybe there will be one, who knows?

Kilgray broadcasts and records the memoQ conferences, but with my hearing impairment I can't make much sense of most of the recordings later. There was a fairly active twitstream last year. But all the virtual stuff misses out on the part I get the most from: talking to the attendees. Of course I saw a lot of familiar faces there, but it was the unfamiliar ones who often surprised and pleased me the most. A random seat at lunch introduced me to Microsoft language experts with fascinating insights. It was sort of like two days of early Christmas for me without the holiday dread. And I'm looking forward to the Mexican restaurant I was introduced to about half a kilometer from the venue when I was in Warsaw to consult two months ago. With Mark Childress talking terms and a good burrito (reminds me of good food where I grew up) - what more could I want? OK, world peace and a billion euros perhaps....Kevin Lossnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14727800526216764023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20155610.post-88014116056646889102012-09-06T23:32:50.957+01:002012-09-06T23:32:50.957+01:00It would be great if there was an option to follow...It would be great if there was an option to follow the conference via the web for the ones who unfortunately can't make it to Poland - ATA's conference next October has this option.<br /><br />Perhaps next year! Until then, we're depending on your report! :-)patlyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807551080977622012noreply@blogger.com
