ProZ.com powwow: NetworkingAugust 21, 2008, 12:00 am EgyptCairoIn personEnglish Ahlan all, Here I am in Egypt for a little while - love it BTW!!! - and it would be great to meet some fellow translators. Let me know if you are interested in getting together and we can set up a convenient time and place. Looking forward to meeting you! Kind regards, Mary Venue & Agenda Hello everyone, Regarding the venue, I'll get back to you on this by the end of the week as I have few ideas but I haven't decided yet. I want to make sure the place allows us to move around and talk to each other and not be stuck at a table. The Agenda - I've recently read "Pyramids and Nightclubs" by L.L.Wynn and somewhere in the book she mentions that at one of the conferences about Egyptology (which she attended) most of the presentations were made in English and the Arabic interpretation did not cover all of the sessions. I'd like to hear your opinion on the subject. And furthermore: Have you noticed any changes related to the Arabic translation market in the last 4-5 years due to globalization? Did you change your marketing strategies as a result? If any of you would like to bring up other subjects, please feel free to do so. All suggestions are welcome and I'd like to underline that. Thank you for your time. Regards, Mary Location The powwow will be held at the "Grand Hyatt Cairo" Hotel (Garden City) on August 21, 2008 - 6pm to 10pm. All the information related to the hotel can be found here: http://www.cairo.grand.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels/index.jsp The attendance is free of charge and the small buffet will include hot drinks, water and snacks. The meeting room is located on the first floor of the hotel and it should be pretty easy to find. If you encounter any problems feel free to ask the front desk or call me; my phone number is 012-242 0301. Please bring an ID. Also, please edit your attendance as I am expected to confirm the final number of seats. This should be all. Let me know if you have any questions. I am looking forward to meeting you! Regards, Mary |
