Report from  Matteo Ippoliti

The Proz Montreal PowWow turned out better than expected. Twenty-three people showed up for sangria and tapas at the Club Espagnol du Quebec, which was the ideal location for its size, food and casual atmosphere.

The PowWow was hosted by fellow Proz members Matteo Ippoliti and Pablo Majlis. Proz member Tara Salman photographed the event.

The food was excellent and reasonably priced ($10 per entree), especially the poached octopus (pulpo) and shrimp in garlic sauce (gambas ajillo).

Conversation flowed and everyone seemed to really connect on both a personal and professional level.

We enjoyed this PowWow so much that we are thinking of organizing other events on a monthly basis on www.meetup.com/mtltranslators/.

Postings from ProZians who attended this event

Jun 25 '11  Matteo Ippoliti: Monthly meetup
That\'s a very good idea, Tara! There can be a meetup of translators from Montreal once a month, while waiting for the next Proz powwow... That\'s a good opportunity for networking and to discuss translation-related matters in person. And have good food together... :)

Jun 21 '11  Marlene Blanshay: club esp
the back terrace apparently won\'t reserve for groups over a certain size...which makes sense but I don\'t know the limit.
Jun 21 '11  Tara Salman (X): For Matteo
You should hold your Couchsurfer\'s Powwow on the terrace of Club Espagnol. They have an amazing back terrace! That is, if the weather is good, of course.
Jun 20 '11  Tara Salman (X): Facebook
OK, guys, I\'m more on FB than Proz, so I\'ve created a page on it for Montreal Translators. Please like it by clicking the Like button. We can continue our discussions and networking on there, if it\'s ok with the Proz people, otherwise I will simply remove Proz.com from the page name.

Lovely people, great venue. Made new friends, had wonderful conversations about anything from rates to phonetics to travel stories... I\'m thinking a twice-yearly at this venue might be an idea... hoping to see you all again in Montréal soon :)
Jun 18 '11  Matteo Ippoliti: THANK YOU!
Hi everybody!

Thank you for coming to today\'s Powwow! It was really nice meeting you all!

Apparently the official attendance has been the highest of all Proz Powwows organized so far in Canada (23 Prozians!). Actually, there were also 4 extra people that didn\'t sign up on Proz.com so the total is 27!

So thank you again! We hope the meeting was fruitful and pleasant for everybody and we hope we can keep in touch.

Good luck everybody!


Matteo and Pablo
