Druženja su neformalni susreti skupina korisnika portala ProZ.com koji žive blizu. Događanja organiziraju lokalni prevoditelji za lokalne prevoditelje.
2.2 - Odakle dolazi riječ »powwow«?
Powwow je tradicionalno druženje američkih domorodaca, koja je ponekad obuhvaćala ples. Riječ je preuzela opće značenje druženja na kojemu se obavljaju neke zadaće.
Powwow druženja neki smatraju snagom ujedinjavanja, s obzirom na to da predstavljaju kulturni element koji je inače zajednički raznim plemenima.
2.3 - Što se događa na druženjima?
Druženja pružaju mogućnost za povezivanje i neformalno druženje profesionalaca lingvista -- prigodu za upoznavanje osoba koje su kriju iza profila.
Većina organizatora nude sudionicima prigodu da se predstave i upute nekoliko riječi. Ponekad se odabere i tema druženja; evo nekoliko primjera: »CAT alati«, »literatura«, »samostalni prevoditelji«, »novi prevoditelji«. Ponekad se neki korisnik ponudi da govori o određenoj temi, a organizator to može dopustiti ako su ostali iskazali dostatno zanimanje.
Neki organizatori su pozvali predstavnike velikih klijenata ili prodavatelje CAT alata kako bi govorili ili održali prezentaciju. To je općenito dobro prihvaćeno. No, važno je da takvi sureti budu informativne, a ne komercijalne prirode.
Pojedina druženja nemaju niti dnevni red niti temu, pa nije ni to loše. U osnovi, ako ste organizator, Vi odlučujete o obliku i sadržaju Vašeg događanja!
Napomena: Od organizatora se traži da evidentiraju imena i identifikacijski broj nazočnih korisnika. Kako bi se to omogućilo, od članova se traži da ponesu svoj identifikacijski broj na portalu ProZ.com. Korisnici koji sudjeluju trebali bi dobiti BrowniZ bodove, ali to se može dogoditi jedino ako ponesu svoj članski broj i ako ih organizator nakon održanog druženja unese u »online« popis nazočnih.
2.4 - Tko može sudjelovati?
Svaka osoba koja je registrirana na portalu ProZ.com može sudjelovati, bez obzira na status članstva. Nadalje, supružnici, djeca i gosti članova kao i prevoditelji koji nisu članovi portala ProZ.com također su dobrodošli.
2.5 - Plaća li se naknada za sudjelovanje?
Za sada nema nikakve naknade za sudjelovanje na druženju. Međutim, lokalni organizatori će očekivati od Vas da sudjelujete u Vašem dijelu troškova susreta. Ako se druženje odvija uz kavu ili večeru, vjerojatno će svatko snositi svoje vlastite troškove. U slučaju većih susreta, lokalni organizator će predložiti dijeljenje troškova koji se odnose na hranu, piće, itd.
U budućnosti bi mogla biti uvedena naknada za sudjelovanje na registrirane korisnike koji nisu članovi portala ProZ.com. Za studente će naknada biti manja ili će biti oslobođeni te naknade.
2.6 - Mogu li povesti djecu? Goste?
Da, članovi obitelji i gosti su dobrodošli.
2.7 - Hoće li predstavnik portala ProZ.com sudjelovati?
U pojedinim slučajevima, bit će nazočna osoba ovlaštena za verifikaciju identiteta. Identitet registriranih korisnika može biti verificiran na način da identifikacijsku ispravu s fotografijom predoče imenovanim predstavnicima.
Ako organizirate druženje i ako je Vaš identitet već ranije verificiran, možete podnijeti zahtjev za podršku kojim ćete zatražiti pravo verificiranja identiteta drugih. Od Vas će biti zatraženo da potvrdite kako ćete jedino verificirati identitet osoba s kojima se osobno susretnete i koje Vam pokažu identifikacijsku iskaznicu s fotografijom.
Kako bi reklamni baneri budućih druženja u Vašoj zemlji bili prikazani, provjerite jeste li u Vašem profilu unijeli Vašu državu (kao i grad i regiju).
8.1 - Kako mogu prijaviti sudjelovanje?
Potražite druženje u Vašoj blizini na ploči druženja. Kliknite kako biste pristupili stranici druženja u Vašoj blizini i dodajte Vaše ime ako ste zainteresirani. (Vaše ime možete skinuti s popisa u bilo koje doba, bez ikakvih obveza.) Ako želite dodati poruku uz Vaše ime, unesite tekst u okvir prije nego li kliknete.
Ponovno provjerite ploču tu i tamo kako biste doprinijeli planiranju ili bili u tijeku.
2.9 - Hoće li se od mene očekivati da sudjelujem ako dodam svoje ime?
Mnoge osobe koje dodaju svoje ime žele time jedino osigurati svoju informiranost. Kao organizator biste trebali planirati samo 40 do 50% osoba koje su svoje ime dodale na popis sudionika.
Kako biste bolje sagledali točan broj osoba koje će sudjelovati (radi rezervacija, itd.), zamolite te osobe da potvrde svoje sudjelovanje tijekom tjedna prije druženja.
2.10 - Mogu li organizirati druženje?
Ako ste član portala ProZ.com ili registrirani korisnik s verificiranim identitetom, možete predložiti druženje u Vašoj blizini popunjavanjem odgovarajućeg obrasca na stranici druženja. ProZ.com može, ali ne mora, odobriti Vaše druženje.
Ako Vaša lokacija bude odobrena, na Vama će biti da isplanirate susret. Vaše će dužnosti biti odlučiti o mjestu održavanja susreta (i rezervirati taj prostor), utvrditi datum i vrijeme, odabrati temu i slati periodične obavijesti potencijalnim sudionicima kako biste ih informirali i uključili u planiranje.
Od Vas će se očekivati da evidentirate nazočne na druženju te da podatke o nazočnima unesete u »online« obrazac nakon održavanja druženja (kliknuti na »Unijeti nazočne« na vrhu stranice Vašeg druženja). Savjetujemo Vam da na druženje ponesete ispisanu kopiju popisa nazočnih koju sudionici druženja trebaju popuniti.
2.11 - I am organizing a powwow and I'd like to invite more people to attend. How can I do it?
You can submit a powwow promotion request. To do so click on the "Request promotional email" link at the top of the page of the powwow you are organizing. This will lead you to the page where you can submit your promotion request together with a sample text you can use for the invitation. Note: this feature is only available to powwow organizers
Powwows can also be promoted on Social Networks such as Twitter and Facebook by clicking on the buttons at the top of each powwow page.
2.12 - I am organizing a powwow and I would like to include an image on the powwow page. How can I do that?
Please submit a support request and attach the image you would like to include on the powwow page. Please make sure you also include the link to the powwow you are organizing.
2.13 - Should the text of the invitation to my powwow be in English only?
No. You can use the invitation in English provided as a model and translate it into the language in which the powwow will be held.
2.14 - What happens after I submit my promotion request?
You will be contacted by site staff with an update of your request status through the support request that is automatically generated after you submit the promotion request.
2.15 - Ne mogu pronaći poveznicu »Unijeti nazočne« na stranici druženja. Zašto?
Potrebno je 24 sata kako bi se [Unesite nazočne] pojavilo na stranici druženja, a bit će vidljivo isključivo organizatoru druženja. Ako niste organizator, možete kontaktirati i zamoliti tu osobu da unese imena nazočnih.
2.16 - Izvršio sam prijenos svojih slika s druženja na portal, ali ništa se ne događa.
Može proteći do 24 sata dok slike koje ste prenijeli na stranicu Vašeg druženja ne postanu vidljive. Ako po isteku tih 24 sata ne vidite slike, molimo pokušajte ih ponovno prenijeti ili podnesite zahtjev za podršku .
2.17 - Kako se dodijeljuju BrowniZ bodovi za organiziranje/sudjelovanje na druženjima?
Organizatori druženja dobivaju 2000 BrowniZ bodova. Sudionici dobivaju 200 BrowniZ bodova.
Kako bi organizator i sudionici mogli dobiti BrowniZ bodove, organizator mora »online« popuniti popis nazočnih. BrowniZ bodovi bit će upisani u roku od jednog dana po podnošenju popisa nazočnih.
Ako nema službenog organizatora, ali netko tko je sudjelovao na druženju ima popunjeni popis nazočnih (ili zna sve osobe koje su sudjelovale), ta osoba bi trebala podnijeti zahtjev za podršku s molbom da joj bude dopušteno podnijeti popis nazočnih na tom susretu. Za to će dobiti 2000 BrowniZ bodova, a time će osigurati da svaki sudionik dobije svojih 200 BrowniZ bodova.
Nije izvedivo da ovlašteni djelatnici portala ProZ.com unose nazočnost za pojedince. Za bilježenje i prijavljivanje nazočnih oslanjamo se na organizatore. Ako niste dobili BrowniZ bodove za druženje na kojemu ste sudjelovali, molimo obratite se organizatoru tog druženja.
3 - ProZ.com conferences - learning, networking and fun!
ProZ.com Conferences and Seminars
3.1 - Što je konferencija portala ProZ.com?
Konferencije portala ProZ.com su regionalni ili međunarodni skupovi koji se plaćaju, koji su veći i više strukturirani u odnosu na druženja, i koji su usmjereni na prevoditelje i tumače registrirane na portalu ProZ.com. Organizira ih Koordinator konferencija portala ProZ.com uz pomoć jednog ili više lokalnih organizatora.
Konferencije portala ProZ.com pružaju mogućnost osobnog povezivanja, tečajeva, rasprave, predstavljanja, profesionalnog razvoja i druženja, što je sažeto u motu konferencijeKonferencije portala ProZ.com - učenje, povezivanje i zabava!
Pogledajte konferencije portala ProZ.com na videu !
3.2 - Koja je razlika između regionalne i međunarodne konferencije?
Međunarodne konferencije održavaju se jednom godišnje i veće su od regionalnih konferencija. Njihovu ciljnu publiku čine svi korisnici portala ProZ.com. Slijedom toga, međunarodne konferencije su događaji koji se održavaju isključivo na engleskom jeziku.
Regionalne konferencije prvenstveno su namijenjene prevoditeljima koji žive na određenom području ili koji se u svom radu služe određenim jezikom. Predavanja na regionalnim konferencijama mogu biti na engleskom jeziku ili na lokalnom jeziku, a pojedina predavanja mogu se odnositi na teme koje su zanimljive prvenstveno onima koji žive na tom području ili koji se u svom radu služe odabranim jezikom. Premda nitko neće spriječiti sudjelovanje na regionalnim konferencijama osoba koje ne žive na tom području i koje se u svom radu ne služe predmetnim jezikom, bitno je da se jasno kaže tko je ciljna publika kako oni koji se ipak odluče sudjelovati ne bi bili razočarani.
3.3 - Are all ProZ.com conferences conducted in person?
No, there are also virtual conferences. Virtual conferences are held online and attended by participants all over the world. For more information about ProZ.com virtual conferences please see the related FAQs.
3.4 - What is a ProZ.com Seminar?
ProZ.com Seminars are 'mini conferences'. They are typically one day events, smaller, more local than conferences and usually cheaper. They enable participants to go deeper in a given theme/specialization area. They feature 2 to 5 speakers/trainers maxmimum during the day, allowing more in-depth discussions and presentations. The networking and fun aspect of ProZ.com conferences is still present - Seminars end with a powwow.
Concretely, on the ProZ.com website, there is no difference between Seminars and Conferences. Seminars work exactly like Conferences do - they are listed on the conferences page http://www.proz.com/conference, registration happens the same way, they still have a dedicated page each (with a http://www.proz.com/conference/#event number URL).
3.5 - Tko organizira konferencije portala ProZ.com?
Konferencije portala ProZ.com organizira Koordinator konferencija portala ProZ.com zajedno s lokalnim organizatorom ili lokalnom osobom za kontakt.
3.6 - Kako se odabire mjesto održavanja konferencije?
Koncentracija članova, prijevozna infrastruktura i troškovi smještajnih kapaciteta su ključni čimbenici pri odabiru mjesta održavanja konferencije. Slijedom toga, konferencije se obično održavaju u mjestima koja su relativno gusto naseljena članovima portala ProZ.com.
Turističke i kulturne znamenitosti također igraju važnu ulogu pri odabiru mjesta održavanja konferencije.
3.7 - Što se događa na konferencijama?
Konferencije su u pravilu dvodnevni događaji koji se odvijaju vikendom.
I drugi događaji, poput tečajeva, mogu biti planirani na način da se datum njihovog održavanja poklapa s datumom održavanja konferencije. Takvi događaji će biti oglašeni zasebno na internetskoj stranici konferencije i naplaćivat će se zasebno.
3.8 - Tko može ići na konferencije?
Sudjelovati može svaka osoba koja je registrirana na portalu ProZ.com, bez obzira na status članstva. I samostalni prevoditelji i naručitelji prijevoda su dobrodošli. Svaki sudionik mora biti prijavljen na stranici konferencije - slijedom toga, ako želite doći s prijateljem ili članom obitelji koji želi sudjelovati na konferenciji (predavanja, radionice, itd.), za tu osobu morate otvoriti račun na portalu ProZ.com. Podsjećamo Vas da je to brzo, besplatno i jednostavno! Međutim, ne morate otvoriti račun ako će osoba koja Vas prati sudjelovati isključivo na druženjima i drugim okvirnim aktivnostima.
3.9 - Mogu li povesti svoju obitelj/supružnika/partnera?
Da. Međutim, na mjestu održavanja konferencije možda neće biti osigurana mogućnost čuvanja djece. Ako želite podrobnije informacije, molimo provjerite internetsku stranicu predmetne konferencije. Korisnici koji žele povesti goste na večeru u sklopu konferencije mogu to učiniti kupnjom karte na internetskoj stranici predmetne konferencije.
Postoje dvije različite vrste gostiju: oni koji dolaze sudjelovati na konferenciji i oni koji su samo u pratnji sudionika. Molimo pogledajte pod točkom 3.6. "Tko može ići na konferencije?"
3.10 - Hoću li moći raditi tijekom sudjelovanja na konferenciji?
Neke korisnike zabrinjava pomisao na izbivanje iz ureda i moguće propuštanje nekih poslova. Većina prostora u kojima se održavaju konferencije nude bežični pristup internetu, besplatnu ili uz malu naknadu. Na pojedinim konferencijama, pristup internetu je dio konferencijskog paketa koji kupite, ali to nije uvijek slučaj. Tu vrstu informacija možete pronaći na stranici predmetne konferencije.
3.11 - Dobivam li BrowniZ bodove za sudjelovanje na konferenciji?
Ne. BrowniZ bodovi ne dodjeljuju se za sudjelovanje na konferenciji, ali ako dostavite povratnu informaciju o predavanjima kojima ste nazočili, dobit ćete 20 BrowniZ bodova za svaku povratnu informaciju.
3.12 - Hoće li sudjelovati i predstavnik portala ProZ.com?
Portal ProZ.com nastoji poslati svog zastupnika na sve konferencije. To može biti ovlašteni djelatnik portala ili moderator. U tom slučaju, moderatora su ovlašteni djelatnici portala službeno imenovali da zastupa portal ProZ.com na konferenciji.
3.13 - A što je sa smještajem?
Smještaj nije uključen u naknadu za sudjelovanje na konferenciji osim u rijetkim i iznimnim slučajevima. U većini slučajeva, prostor u kojemu se održava glavni dio konferencije je hotel u kojemu će biti smještena većina sudionika konferencije - organizatori mogu imati dogovor s tim hotelom, ponuditi hotelski smještaj sudionicima po sniženoj cijeni, ali to nije uvijek slučaj.
Sudionici konferencije morat će se sami pobrinuti za vlastite rezervacije i plaćanje smještaja u hotelu po njihovom izboru.
U većini slučajeva, organizatori dostavljaju popis hotela (svih cjenovnih kategorija) u blizini mjesta održavanja konferencije putem stranice konferencije i/ili u forumu posvećenom konferenciji. U svakom slučaju, molimo pogledajte stranicu predmetne konferencije.
3.14 - Kako se mogu prijaviti za konferenciju?
Ako želite prijaviti svoje sudjelovanje na nekoj konferenciji, posjetite stranicu predmetne konferencije te u lijevom stupcu ispod izbornika konferencije odaberite paket koji želite kupiti i kliknite na »Kupi odmah«. Time ćete doći na platformu za plaćanje, koja će Vas usmjeravati tijekom cijelog postupka plaćanja i ponuditi različite načine plaćanja (kreditnom karticom putem online sustava PayPal, bankovnom doznakom, putem lisnice na portalu ProZ.com, putem sustava Moneybookers, PayPal, ...).
Morate biti prijavljeni na portalu ProZ.com ako želite prijaviti sudjelovanje na nekoj konferenciji.
Molimo, primiti na znanje da klikom na »Prijaviti se odmah« ostvarujete samo predbilješku za sudjelovanje na konferenciji - to samo pokazuje da Vas konferencija zanima. Vaše mjesto na konferenciji neće biti rezervirano dok ne izvršite plaćanje.
3.15 - Želio bih saznati više o programu konferencije. Koje su teme pokrivene?
Većina konferencija nudi široku lepezu predavanja o različitim temama koje zanimaju najveći dio sudionika i koje obuhvaćaju tehničke teme, poslovanje, raspravu o specijaliziranim temama (primjerice, prevođenje financijskih tekstova) i još mnogo toga. Pojedine konferencije mogu imati posebnu temu na koju će većina predavanja biti usredotočena.
Molimo, posjetite programsku karticu predmetne konferencije (idite na glavnu stranicu konferencije > lijevi izbornik > odaberite »Program«)
3.16 - Kakvu vrstu predavanja mogu očekivati?
Postoje tri vrste predavanja: predstavljanja, fokusne skupine, okrugli stolovi i radionice.
Predstavljanja su nastupi u obliku predavanja iza kojih često slijedi kratak niz pitanja i odgovora.
Fokusne skupine su dinamične rasprave koje pružaju mogućnost razmjene ideja s kolegama prevoditeljima.
Okrugli stolovi su panel-rasprave.
Radionice su praktični tehnički tečajevi. Kako bi sudjelovali na tim predavanjima, sudionici u pravilu moraju imati mogućnost korištenja prijenosnog računala.
3.17 - Tko drži predavanja?
Većinu predavanja drže kolege s portala ProZ.com, premda može biti i vanjskih predavača.
3.18 - Moram li se prijaviti za predavanja?
Prijavljivanje za predavanja preporučuje se kako bi organizator imao predodžbu o broju zainteresiranih osoba i kako bi se mogao osigurati primjereni prostor za određeno predavanje.
3.19 - Kako se mogu prijaviti za predavanja?
Na kartici Programa na internetskoj stranici konferencije, kliknite na poveznicu Prijava za bilo koje predavanje na kojemu želite sudjelovati.
3.20 - Prijavio sam se za jedno predavanje, moram li sudjelovati?
Ne, ali ako ste promijenili mišljenje, potičemo Vas da uklonite Vaše ime s popisa sudionika određenog predavanja, naročito ako je broj raspoloživih mjesta ograničen.
3.21 - Broj osoba koje su se prijavile na stranici tečaja veći je od iskazanog broja polaznika koji se primaju za taj tečaj. Mogu li se ipak prijaviti? Hoću li dobiti mjesto na tečaju?
Možete se prijaviti sve dok nije naznačeno »tečaj popunjen«. Nema ograničenja za prijavu na tečaj, ali jedino oni koji imaju status »prijavljen i platio« imaju rezervirano i osigurano mjesto na tečaju. Kada broj polaznika sa statusom »prijavljen i platio« postigne predviđeni broj polaznika tečaja, prijave za taj tečaj bit će zaključene.
3.22 - Koliko košta odlazak na konferenciju?
Naknada za sudjelovanje na konferenciji ovisi o mjestu održavanja i o proračunu konferencije. Tu treba također predvidjeti putne troškove i troškove smještaja, kao i troškove objeda i pića izvan konferencije.
Članovi portala ostvaruju popust na naknadu za prijavu.
3.23 - Što uključuje naknada za sudjelovanje na konferenciji?
Naknada za sudjelovanje na konferenciji uključuje sudjelovanje na konferenciji. Ovisno o mjestu održavanja konferencije, može uključivati, ali to nije nužno, ručak, večeru i stanke za kavu tijekom konferencije. Produženje članstva nije uključeno u naknadu za sudjelovanje na konferenciji.
3.24 - Kako izvršiti plaćanje za konferenciju?
Postoje različiti načini plaćanja koji ovise o svakoj konferenciji:
- online kreditnom karticom ili putem sustava PayPal ili Moneybookers
- uplatom na poseban račun
Za podrobnije informacije, upućujemo Vas na internetsku stranicu predmetne konferencije.
3.25 - I have registered and paid for a conference. Is there anything special I should bring on the day?
If you have registered and paid for the conference you will be attending, just be sure to bring your ID when you go. There is no need to present the payment receipt or any other proof of registration or payment.
Check the sessions you will be attending to make sure you won't need anything in particular. It may be a good idea to bring pen and paper or other means of taking down notes or information.
If you have business cards, be sure to bring a good number of them with you. Conferences are a great opportunity to network with other professionals and agencies, so be prepared!
3.26 - Platio sam za konferenciju, ali ne mogu doći. Hoću li dobiti povrat novca?
Politika otkazivanja sudjelovanja primjenjuje se na svaku konferenciju. Molimo, pročitajte politiku otkazivanja u nastavku.
3.27 - Koja je politika otkazivanja sudjelovanja na konferenciji?
Politika otkazivanja sudjelovanja: »Sudionici koji otkažu svoje sudjelovanje najkasnije 30 dana prije planiranog datuma održavanja konferencije dobit će povrat svoje naknade za prijavu umanjenjene za administrativnu naknadu u visini od 20%. Nikakav povrat neće biti izvršen u slučaju otkazivanja sudjelovanja nakon tog datuma. Povrati se obrađuju u roku od 30 dana po primitku pisane obavijesti o otkazivanju sudjelovanja. Otkazivanje sudjelovanja mora biti zatraženo e-poštom kako od djelatnika portala ProZ.com zaduženog za planiranje konferencije, tako i od lokalnog organizatora. Članovima se nudi i mogućnost besplatnog prebacivanja svoje uplate na drugu zakazanu konferenciju uz plaćanje samo razlike u cijeni.«
3.28 - Mi smo prevoditeljska tvrtka. Koje su prednosti za tvrtke koje sudjeluju na konferenciji portala ProZ.com?

Izravan kontakt sa samostalnim prevoditeljima u takvim prigodama može dodatno doprinijeti učvršćivanju odnosa između naručitelja prijevoda i samostalnih prevoditelja, uz istodobno ulaganje u profesionalni razvoj tvrtke i njezinih zaposlenika.

4.3 - Koja je uloga lokalnog organizatora?
U nastavku slijedi neiscrpan popis nekih od zadaća i dužnosti lokalnog organizatora (sve pojedinosti bit će dostavljene naknadno). Organizatori odgovaraju ovlaštenim djelatnicima konferencije u svakoj fazi, a potonji će pružiti podršku organizatorima kad god bude potrebna.
Prije konferencije:
- Izrada proračuna i planiranje financijskih sredstava
- Pronalaženje primjerenog prostora za održavanje konferencije
- Izrada i održavanje internetske stranice konferencije
- Razrada programa
- Komuniciranje sa sudionicima i predavačima (odgovarati na e-poštu, sastavljati okružnice, itd.)
- Osiguranje fotografija za internetsku stranicu konferencije
- Prevođenje materijala na lokalni jezik (stranica konferencije, okružnice, pozivnice radi dobivanja vize, itd.)
- Priprema materijala za konferenciju (ispis, izrezivanje i izrada akreditacija, mapa, itd.)
- Kontaktiranje lokalnih tvrtki vezano uz mogućnosti sponzoriranja konferencije
- Promicanje priredbe (lokalna sveučilišta, strukovne organizacije, organiziranje lokalnih druženja, korištenje internetskih mreža na kojima je portal ProZ.com prisutan, poput LinkedIna, Facebooka, itd.)
- Pružanje informacija o putovanju i smještaju (održavati odgovarajuće stranice i forume)
- Organiziranje društvenih aktivnosti (druženje uoči konferencije, druge društvene aktivnosti)
- Razno (primjerice izvidjeti mogućnosti jaslica)
Tijekom konferencije: (bez obzira na to je li ovlašteni djelatnik portala ProZ.com nazočan ili ne – u nastavku slijede dužnosti organizatora)
- Koordinacija s predavačima, sponzorima i gostima (prijevoz iz zračne luke, itd.)
- Pomoći s prijavom na dan konferencije radi osiguranja točnog konačnog popisa sudionika (unaprijed osigurati dobrovoljne pomoćnike)
- Voditi ili osigurati djelatnike na štandu portala ProZ.com
- Osigurati vezu s ovlaštenim djelatnicima portala i sudionicima koji ne govore engleski
- Poštivanje vremenskog rasporeda – pobrinuti se da predavanja počnu i završe na vrijeme, dati govornicima do znanja kada im vrijeme istječe, pobrinuti se da prijelaz s jednog predavanja na drugo bude uredno, osigurati da sudionici napuste/uđu u dvoranu
- Koordiniranje stanki za kavu i objeda s hotelom/ugostiteljskom tvrtkom i koordiniranje s tehničkim osobljem hotela, pričekati osoblje, itd.
- Komuniciranje i obavještavanje sudionika o svim »posljednjim« izmjenama, na vidljivom mjestu (primjerice na bijeloj ploči/papirnatoj ploči u prostorima koji se koriste za stanke za kavu ili na štandu portala ProZ.com, itd.)
- Voditi riznicu konferencije i voditi evidenciju o svim izdacima/prihodima u gotovini ili čekovima za organizatora (primjeri izdataka: troškovi prijevoza taksijem za predavača ili bilo kakvi neočekivani manji gotovinski izdaci za priredbu – primjeri prihoda: sudionici koji naknadu za sudjelovanje na konferenciji plaćaju gotovinom izravno na prijavnici po dolasku, prodaja majica, itd.)
- Pružanje pomoći sudionicima u svemu što im zatreba (turističke informacije, pitanja vezana uz putovanje...)
- Koordiniranje i organiziranje društvenih aktivnosti (druženja, društvena večera, skupna fotografija, razgledavanje...)
Nakon konferencije:
- Podnošenje punog konačnog obračuna i svih potvrda/računa za izdatke ovlaštenom djelatniku portala ProZ.com
- Slanje zahvalnice e-poštom partnerima, sponzorima, predavačima i sudionicima
- Analiza nakon konferencije i povratna informacija o unaprjeđivanju materijala za konferencije za buduće organizatore
Ako imate bilo kakva pitanja u vezi sa zadaćama, molimo obratite se Koordinatoru konferencija.
4.4 - Je li ovo dobrovoljna uloga ili će mi biti isplaćena naknada?
Pod uvjetom da konferencija ostvari dobit, organizatori dobivaju svoj udjel u dobiti. Postotak tog udjela je predmet usuglašavanja prije početka planiranja događaja. Ako postoje dva organizatora, taj se iznos dijeli među njima po njihovom vlastitom nahođenju. Ako konferencija ostvari gubitak, organizatorima neće ništa biti isplaćeno, ali se od njih neće očekivati da pokriju bilo kakav dio gubitka.
4.5 - Hoće li se ta uloga uplitati u moj prevoditeljski rad?
Ponekad hoće. Očekujte da ćete provesti oko 100 sati u aktivnostima vezanim uz konferenciju, a u tjednu ili dva tjedna prije same konferencije predvidite da ćete morati posvetiti veći dio Vašeg radnog vremena komunikaciji sa sudionicima.
AkoVam se to čini obeshrabrujućim, sjetite se da neće biti sami. Možete doprinijeti tome da neposredni učinak Vašeg sudjelovanja u pripremi konferencije na Vaš prevoditeljski rad bude sveden na najmanju moguću razinu na način da surađujete s osobom zaduženom za planiranje konferencije kako bi Vaše načelne aktivnosti bile dovršene znatno prije same konferencije. Štoviše, nakon konferencije biste mogli doći do zaključka da je izloženost, koju ste dobili time što ste organizirali konferenciju, unaprijedila Vaše poslovanje samostalnog prevoditelja.
4.6 - Hoću li se morati baviti bilo kakvim planiranjem financijskih sredstava?
Da, zajedno s Koordinatorom konferencija.
4.7 - Što ako sam preuzeo obvezu, ali nakon nekog vremena shvatim da ne mogu nastaviti s organiziranjem konferencije?
Ako morate odustati, molimo obavijestite Koordinatora konferencija u najkraćem mogućem roku e-poštom. Organizatorima koji nisu u mogućnosti sudjelovati do kraja u organizaciji neće biti isplaćena nikakva naknada za bilo koji rad koji su do tada obavili; jedino će im biti nadoknađeni razumni izdaci kojima su bili izloženi svojim radom na organiziranju konferencije.
4.8 - Želim biti lokalni organizator. Kako trebam postupiti?
Sjajno! Biti lokalni organizator trebalo bi Vam biti vrlo zahvalno iskustvo. Prije bilo kakvog planiranja, molimo pažljivo pročitajte članak o »Organiziranju konferencije portala ProZ.com«. Na kraju članka moći ćete nastaviti s idućim korakom koji će Vas dovesti do obrasca »Predložiti konferenciju« gdje ćete moći poslati Vaš prijedlog konferencije. Koordinator konferencija javit će Vam se u roku od nekoliko dana po primitku Vašeg prijedloga.

• The use of a Webcam microphone is not recommended.
• If you are unmuted by the organizer, you may need to turn the volume down on your speakers to avoid echo.
IMPORTANT

For optimum performance when using VoIP, we recommend a broadband Internet connection (see System requirements above)

You can also run the GoToMeeting Connection Wizard. It tests and determines the ideal connection settings that GoToWebinar can make within your network.

1. Please download the GoToMeeting Connection Wizard. The G2MConnectionWizard.exe file should download in your default browser.
2. Open the G2MConnectionWizard.exe file and run the software when prompted.
3. When the GoToMeeting Connection Wizard launches, click Next to start the connection test. GoToMeeting's home page should launch in your default browser. If you're not redirected to www.gotomeeting.com, open your browser and go to that page.
4. Click "OK" to continue. The Connection Wizard will determine the best connection setting for your computer when connecting to GoToMeeting. This process may take a few minutes to complete.
5. Once the detection process is complete, click "Next".
6. Then run GoToMeeting by hosting or joining a session to see if the connection settings work properly.
You will have 3 options:
• If GoToMeeting now properly connections to the GoToMeeting service infrastructure, click "Next" > Finish to complete the Connection Wizard test.
• If GoToMeeting now properly connects to the GoToMeeting service infrastructure, but I still experience problems, contact Support Center for further troubleshooting. You may be asked to provide a GoToMeeting Connection Wizard report by clicking Wizard Report.
• If GoToMeeting still cannot connect to the GoToMeeting service infrastructure, contact Support Center for further troubleshooting. You may be asked to provide a GoToMeeting Connection Wizard report by clicking Wizard Report.
