In memoriam | I am maybe not sorry | Jan 24, 2007 |
Thanks for your input Rebecca.
But: Most of what is delivered is delivered in Hungary and that is according to my information the deciding factor.
I therefore still advise Csaba and ProZ.com to check this thorougly out.

Hey everyone,
I just wanted to reconfirm what some of you have already posted here regarding VAT. If you have a valid VAT number, you will NOT be charged VAT. However, the payment system will show you a VAT charge initially, but if your number is valid and entered correctly, this VAT charge will disappear on your invoice when you click to go to the next page (where you will need to select your payment type). I've double checked with Cathy and she is confirming this too. I hope this help... See more Hey everyone,

In memoriam | VAT clarification | Jan 25, 2007 |
Hi again,
Thanks Patrick for your input which is correct and should be so.
It will mean that any local VAT in any country - in this case Hungary - will have to be absorbed by ProZ.com/The organiser (and members).
The boat trip supplier will charge VAT, the hotel will charge VAT for conference rooms, internet access, catering and other services and this VAT will have to be paid. No VAT number will save us from paying it.
Likewise, everybody having booked rooms will... See more Hi again,

Likewise, everybody having booked rooms will have to pay VAT on the price of their room.
If the hotel does not charge VAT, it makes an error which can be corrected at a later tax revision, to be charged to the user involved, i.e. us.

| similar 20%VAT-problem | Jan 25, 2007 |
I had a similar problem, when paying my annual fee in 2006- I was told, that is VAT-free, because I have an EU VAT ID. Despite of this, I was charged 20%VAT and when asking proZ, nobody answered till now why happened like this ... Maybe Patrick or a proZ-staff member will be able to explain me better now?

We'll benefit from the presence of a certified corporate terminologist and frequent conference speaker, Zurich-based Silvia Cerrella Bauer, who will talk about terminology management for large corporatations and freelance translators.
I'd like to remind you that early bird prices for Hotel Benczúr are valid until January 31st (mindnight, CET). While there are still plenty of rooms, make your reservation early, as hotel bookings seem to be well ahead of conference registration figures.
43 people people registered so far, with a few more confirmed for the next couple of days. These people come from 22 different countries, including 6 outside Europe.
All of you are invited to express any wishes related to the program, or just about anything on the appropriate forums.

| 80 days to go | Feb 7, 2007 |
Dear All,
If you have an urge to travel, do it quickly. You still have exactly 80 days before the Budapest conference - just enough to trace the steps of Phileas Fogg. But make sure you arrive on time in the Reform Club... oops, sorry, Hotel Benczúr.
Another milestone is that the conference page surpassed 5000 hits just last night.

Another milestone is that the conference page surpassed 5000 hits just last night.
Please check back often, as I keep updating the page almost every day. The program is taking shape, but there are still a few empty slots. If you have a good proposal for a session that you are ready to hold, please let me know.
So far 63 people registered for the conference, but hotel reservation seems to go faster. By now, half of the rooms are booked out. There are still many empty rooms, but if you want to stay where all the action goes on, do not wait for too long.
I'd like to remind you that additional powwow pages are open (links from the main powwow page or the conference page). Please indicate your presence so that I can plan which restaurant to book.
Trados training sessions will be held on April 28th and May1st. More details on the main conference page and the dedicated Trados sessions forum.
Negotiations with Atril (DVX) are still under way.
That's all for now. I plan to distribute the next update early next week.
Kind regards,

It’s only two weeks to go until the early bird period is over. Registration fee will be EUR 20 / USD 25 higher if you pay after March 1st.

Also, please note that conference hotel is filling up quickly. By now, about two thirds of the rooms are booked out. But do not dispair: there are two smaller hotels in the same price range, both of them within 2 minutes of walking.
If you have not bought your flight tickets yet, now you may find some very cheap deals at www.skyeurope.com. Their current campaign is valid until February 18th.
It looks like there will be a Wordfast training for free, but this is not yet confirmed.
This conference is set to become the most international Proz.com event ever - in addition to the list the people who registered already, there will be participants from Brazil, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Latvia, the Ukraine. In the past few days I received inquiries even from countries like Kuwait and Kameroon.
So don't hesitate, secure your place now.

| last week of early bird period | Feb 21, 2007 |
Dear colleagues,
Now there's only one week left in the early bird period. If you want to secure your place for EUR 140 / USD 180, act now.
The early bird pricing of Trados sessions will also expire on February 28th.
The conference hotel is filling up fast. Room rates will be 5 euros higher (per room per night) if you book after March 1st.
Some recent developments:
1. A Wordfast seminar will be held on the 2nd day of the conference.

Some recent developments:

2. I managed to find a good folk music band for the boat.
3. Deja Vu training will be offered for a separate fee on April 28th and May 1st. More details will be posted on the conference page within 24 hours.
And a special request: I received funds from Romania a couple of days ago, but the person forgot to indicate the name and Proz.com ID, so I cannot identify the payment. If you feel it was you, please send me details of your wire transfer by email.
This will be a truly international conference. So far 89 people registered, who represent 25 different countries. Together with confirmed speakers, this number is 27. Registered participants speak 19 different mother tongues and work in 25 different languages. If I count the people who have not registered yet, but confirmed their intention in email, the number of countries likely to be represented will increase to 32!
all the best,

| Last few rooms at Hotel Benczúr | Feb 27, 2007 |
Dear conference participants,
If you haven't booked your room yet, hurry up, as Hotel Benczúr has only 13 rooms left (10 minutes ago). Some of these rooms are actually apartments that can sleep 4 people.
I keep trying to find alternative solutions.
