O Rio de Janeiro é conhecido pelas suas belezas naturais e pelas noites animadas, principalmente embaladas pelo samba. No entanto, hoje, o Rio já é palco de grandes negócios que movimentam contratos importantes e entrou definitivamente no eixo de negócios do Brasil e do mundo com os eventos internacionais de grande porte que acolherá: a Copa de 2014 e os Jogos Olímpicos de 2016. Aproveite a oportunidade para aprender com profissionais tarimbados e descontrair com os colegas de profissão. Venha rever amigos antigos, conhecer outras pessoas e conversar pessoalmente com aquele colega com o qual você só tem contato virtualmente. Programe sua vinda com antecedência para aproveitar melhores condições de traslado e hospedagem e poder se organizar para conhecer a Cidade Maravilhosa. É o momento de abrir uma pausa na agenda de trabalho para se renovar. A organização da Conferência e o ProZ terão imenso prazer em recebê-los, bem como nosso Keynote Speaker: Renato Beninatto (www.l10n411.com/) e nossa Mestre de Cerimônias: Isabel Vidigal (www.proz.com/profile/93899).
