1. Customized ChatGPT for Translators – Tony D’Angelo, Business Development Manager
Tony D’Angelo shared practical ways to tailor AI tools to meet the unique needs of translators. His session underscored the power of strategic customization, demonstrating how AI can enhance efficiency while maintaining high-quality standards.

Chris Raulf broke down the critical role of visibility and credibility in today’s competitive digital landscape. His insights provided actionable strategies for language professionals to strengthen their online presence and leverage digital PR for greater business success.
The Power of Connections
One of the highlights of my trip? Meeting and interviewing my weekly newsletter subscriber Robert Daraban over breakfast. It was a great reminder that meaningful connections happen not just within the conference hall but in the most unexpected moments.
And let’s talk about the best moderator in the business – Carlos la Orden Tovar. Having the chance to catch up with him was a privilege, and I can’t wait for our next live event with Metaviews Media Management Ltd.—where I’ll be bringing my own in-house moderator!
A special shoutout to John Terninko for navigating an uncertain business climate with resilience and leadership, and to Dimitra Garantzioti for making me feel like a top-tier tennis pro at a Grand Slam venue.
