A fellow translator here in Mallorca (Alex Lago) has organised a prowwow for this Thursday lunchtime. I think there'll be 16 of us...I am SO looking forward to this!

All but one in The Netherlands, all very different, always a great experience.

In Valencia a couple of years ago; it was a great experience meeting colleagues in person.
I have the same problem as Mary-W nowadays, living in the back of beyond is very peaceful and perfect for working from home, but makes it a struggle to manage to get to any social gatherings with a fixed schedule.
I highly recommend attending though, it was definitely a useful experience.

| Powwows in Uruguay are a lot of fun | Jul 5, 2010 |
We've had two excellent organizers: first, Fabio Descalzi and now Laureana Pavón.
These get-togethers have always been a lot of fun and a great opportunity for meeting other colleagues — important contacts, extraordinary friends. This way I've overcome that feeling of isolation that translators often complain about.
Thanks Laureana and Fabio!

Attended two: one in Brussels and one in Düsseldorf. Organized one in Brussels.
The one in Düsseldorf is always a "happening" and full of interesting people.

Attended the pre-conference powwow in Budapest in April 2007. Good beer and great fun!

... And really sorry I can't make the one in Padborg/Flensburg in September. But I can't be in two places at once, and some family events even take priority over powwows!
The Danish ones are really great, and I was lucky enough to attend one in Warsaw last year. So THANKS to the organisers! I must try it myself one day.
They are really worth the effort of coming.

| Too many to count... | Jul 5, 2010 |
We have them every month here in Cardiff, and I've only missed 2 or 3 in two years There are 3 or 4 of us who take turns organising it. Have also attended in Bristol and Exeter.

one time there was a blizzard and that sort of put a damper on it....last time I can't remember why i didn't go.

| New to Powwow | Jul 5, 2010 |
I tried to get to a Powow in Long Beach, but it was just at the time of the Grand Prix so there were so many areas closed off so I couldn't get the meeting point on time.
There's one happening in Burbank soon, so I will definitely try to get to that.
I look forward to meeting other translators.
