Sorry folks, apparently the html code does not go through properly, I give up. If you open the main Conference page (for example by following the link from the Powwow page), you should be able to register.
It's also a good idea to subscribe to the mailing list.

The really early birds have already registered at the conference, 14 of them on the first day.
Here is your chance to be among the first:
http://www.proz.com/conference/10
In addition to the full conference package, one-day passes and special student discounts are also available.
An interesting lecture will be provided by Mr András Török, the author of a cult guidebook to Budapest, on "how to make sense of Hungary and the Hungarians". He used to be a literary translator as well, and he knows how foreigners see our capital city, and he can talk about it with a witty humor.
On the professional side, Trados training sessions will take place before and after the conference, and negotiations are under way with Atril, the maker of Deja Vu, about their training sessions.
We also managed to successfully contact Star Transit, so they may also be present in some way.
Training sessions will be priced separately and will be held outside the conference dates.
I'll keep you posted with developments every couple of days.
kind regards,
Csaba ▲ Collapse

| Budapest conference update - January 23rd | Jan 23, 2007 |
Dear friends,
I'm happy to see that less than a week since registration was opened, 32 people have already confirmed their participation at the conference. And these 32 people come from 20 different countries, as far afield as Argentina and Australia. Three former conference organizers are also on board now, and some more are also likely to attend.
I encourage you to check the conference page and the related forums every day, as I constantly update information. Also, as... See more Dear friends,
I'm happy to see that less than a week since registration was opened, 32 people have already confirmed their participation at the conference. And these 32 people come from 20 different countries, as far afield as Argentina and Australia. Three former conference organizers are also on board now, and some more are also likely to attend.
I encourage you to check the conference page and the related forums every day, as I constantly update information. Also, as this message is now sent to people who signed up at the powwow page, please make sure to join the mailing list (top right corner of the conference page: www.proz.com/conference/10)
The latest big news is that registration is now open for Jerzy Czopik's Trados training sessions, to be held on April 28th and May 1st. More details on the conference page:
www.proz.com/conference/10
As a reminder for those of you who have not yet made up their minds: early bird prices at the hotel are valid until January 31st, so act quickly.
I managed to contact two very high profile potential speakers, but I received a negative feedback from both of them. Umberto Eco will be in Budapest just two weeks before our conference, on an international book fair, and he will not return again so soon. And Juhani Lönnroth, the head of EU's DG Translation replied to me just a couple of hours ago, apologizing that he also has commitments for that weekend. Anyway, I keep looking for a big name, so stay tuned.
Now it's only 96 days to go....
all the best,

In memoriam | Registration without VAT | Jan 24, 2007 |
Hi Csaba,
I just tried to register for the conference, but there seems to be a flaw in the reg.form.
When proceeding to the check-out I noticed that 19% VAT is automatically added tot the registration fee. Sine I have a VAT registration number, which is also included in my profile, NO VAT should be included in the total amount.
Could you please clarify this with whoever decided to make this invoice arrangement?

If yes, the added VAT will be deducted in the next step. It worked for me flawlesly.

| payment without VAT | Jan 24, 2007 |
Dear Herman,
If you have a VAT number, you DO NOY have to pay VAT.
In the first payment window the VAT is included, but when you click on Next, only the net figure is indicated (provided you have a VAT number - this is either pre-filled from your profile page or you can enter it manually.)
Cs.

Hi Herman,
I might be able to clarify this:
When I signed up, VAT was added at first but then automatically removed in the final invoice.

| VAT - sorry folks! | Jan 24, 2007 |
Hi Everyone,
I've seen the notes re: VAT and please check this out thoroughly - from what I recall from my experiences with my husband's and my company (we participated in a lot of foreign/EU trade shows), if an event is held in an EU country, VAT must be charged - companies can then try to claim this back from their own tax authority, but it must be charged because the service is being offered in that country. In other words, unlike a product which is sold in the country of the buyer, the... See more Hi Everyone,

In other words, unlike a product which is sold in the country of the buyer, the service will not be 'leaving' Hungary as it were......I just would hate for ProZ to end up having to pay 19% or whatever on everyone's registration fees! Please do investigate this Csaba - for your own sake...... Good luck, Allison ▲ Collapse

A ground rule as to VAT is that a service rendered from a local to a visitor to the country must contain VAT (in Hungary: 19%) irrespective of from what country the visitor is coming from.
So if the 19% has been deducted from my registration fee because I have a Swedish VAT number, please add it again because Csaba will have to pay it in the end.
Ask staff to check and change.

IMHO, if service is provided in Hungary bY Hungarian registered entity, VAT applies, but if service is provided in Hungary by US registered entity- such as ProZ.com is?

| clarification on VAT needed | Jan 24, 2007 |
As a former conference organiser I can contribute the following piece of information: ProZ.com have an EU VAT number. Therefore, for the Edinburgh conference no VAT was charged to those who live in an EU member state and are VAT registered. However, ProZians within the UK had to pay VAT. The same principle should apply to Hungary. Hope this clears things up for everyone.

I'm sorry to say, Mats and Allison, but you're both wrong.
What Rebecca wrote is correct.
Thank you Jerzy, Jutta and Csaba, I'm going to try again.
