Powwows-i su neformalna grupna okupljanja radi druženja ProZ.com korisnika koji žive u neposrednoj blizini. Događaji se organizuju od strane lokalnih prevodilaca za lokalne prevodioce.
2.2 - Odakle potiče riječ „Powwow“?
Powwow predstavlja tradiciju okupljanja nativnih Amerikanaca, a ponekad uključuje i takmičarski ples. Riječ je preuzela generalno značenje društvenog okupljanja gdje se odvija realizacija zadataka.
Neki smatraju da powwow-si predstavljaju ujedinjujuću silu, pošto su prisutni kao zajednički kulturološki element kod širom inače različitih plemena.
2.3 - Šta se dešava na powwows-ima?
Powwows-i pružaju mogućnost za stvaranje poslovnih veza i neformalno druženje među jezičkim profesionalcima – priliku da upoznate osobe iza profila.
Većina organizatora nudi mogućnost da se učesnici predstave i oglase. Ponekad, tema bude izabrana; primjeri obuhvataju: CAT alatke, literaturu, honorarni samostalni rad (Free-lancing), nove prevodioce. Ponekad se korisnik volonterski javlja da održi govor na temu, i uzevši u obzir da postoji dovoljan interes od strane ostalih organizator to može odobriti.
Ponekad organizator pozove predstavnike velikih klijenata, ili prodavače CAT alatki da održe govor ili pruže demonstraciju. Generalno, to je dobro prihvaćeno. Međutim, važno je da ton takvih sastanaka bude više informativan nego komercijalan.
Neki powwows-i nemaju plan i program, niti temu, i to je također u redu. Suštinski, ako ste Vi organizator, na Vama je da napravite svoj događaj.
Napomena: Od organizatora se traži da zabilježe imena i identifikacije korisnika koji učestvuju. Da bi se to olakšalo, od članova se traži da ponesu svoje ProZ.com identifikacije. Korisnici koji učestvuju trebaju dobiti browniz bodove, ali to se može desiti samo ako ponesu svoje članske brojeve i ako ih potom organizator unese u online radni list o prisustvovanju.
2.4 - Ko može učestvovati?
Učestvovati može svako ko se registrovao na ProZ.com-u, bez obzira na članski status. Dodatno, dobrodošli su i supružnici, djeca i gosti članova, kao i prevodioci koji nisu ProZ.com članovi.
2.5 - Da li se plaća naknada za učestvovanje?
Za sada, ne postoji trošak za učestvovanje na powwow-u. Međutim, lokalni organizatori će od vas očekivati da doprinesete svoj udio za troškove događaja. Ako powwow predstavlja manji sastanak uz kafu ili večeru, tada će to biti da svako plati za sebe. Za veća okupljanja, lokalni organizator će predložiti podjelu troška koji se odnosi na hranu, piće itd.
U budućnosti bi moglo postojati plaćanje naknade za učestvovanje registrovanih korisnika ProZ.com-a koji nisu članovi. Za studente, naknada će biti umanjena ili izostavljena.
2.6 - Da li mogu dovesti djecu? Goste?
Da; porodica i gosti su dobrodošli.
2.7 - Da li će učestvovati i predstavnik ProZ.com-a?
U nekim slučajevima biće prisutna osoba koja je ovaštena da verifikuje identitete. Registovani korisnici mogu verifikovati svoje identitete tako da prikažu svoju identifikaciju s fotografijom pred imenovanim predstavnicima.
Ako Vi organizujete powwow, a već imate verifikaciju za svoj identitet, tada možete podnijeti zahtjev za podršku tražeći odobrenje da možete verifikovati identitete ostalih osoba. Od Vas će se tražiti da potvrdite da ćete verifikovati samo identitete onih osoba koje lično upoznate i koje Vam pokažu identifikaciju s fotografijom.
Za prikaz baner oglasa o predstojećim powwows-ima u Vašoj zemlji, obavezno unesite svoju zemlju (i grad i region) na svom profilu.
8.1 - Kako da se upišem za učestvovanje?
Pogledajte powwow raspored za powwow u Vašoj oblasti. Kliknite na powwow u Vašoj blizini i dodajte svoje ime, ako ste zainteresovani. (Možete ukloniti svoje ime u svakom trenutku , bez obaveze.) Da biste uz svoje ime dodali napomenu, unesite tekst u polje prije nego što kliknete.
S vremena na vrijeme ponovo navratite do rasporeda, kako biste doprinijeli planiranju ili ostali u toku.
2.9 - Ako dodam svoje ime, da li će se od mene očekivati da prisustvujem?
Mnoge osobe dodaju svoja imena samo kako bi osigurali da stalno budu informisani. Kao organizator, Vi biste trebali računati samo na 40–50% od onih koji dodaju svoja imena za učestvovanje.
Da biste stekli bolji uvid u tačan broj osoba koje će učestvovati (zbog pravljenja rezervacije i sl), u sedmici koja prethodi događaju zamolite ljude da potvrde svoje učestvovanje.
2.10 - Da li mogu organizovati Powwow?
Ako ste Vi ProZ.com član ili registrovani korisnik s verifikovanim identitetom, tada možete predložiti powwow u svom regionu tako što ćete ispuniti odgovarajući obrazac na powwow stranici. Mogućnosti su da ProZ.com odobri ili ne odobri Vaš powwow.
Ako Vaša lokacija bude odobrena, na Vama preostaje da isplanirate događaj. Vaša zaduženja će obuhvatati donošenje odluke o mjestu održavanja događaja (i rezervisanje tog mjesta), utvrđivanje datuma i vremena, odabir teme i slanje periodičnih obavještenja potencijalnim učesnicima kako bi oni bili u toku i uključeni u planiranje.
Od Vas će se očekivati da napravite evidenciju prisustvovanja na događaju i da po završetku događaja te podatke o učestvovanju uneste u online obrazac (kliknite na „Unesite prisustvovanje“, na vrhu svoje powwow stranice). Preporučuje se da na powwow ponesete odštampani primjerak papirnog lista o prisustvovanju da bi je ispunili učesnici na powwow-u.
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 - Zašto powwow stranici ne mogu na pronaći link „Unesite prisustvovanje“?
Potrebno je 24 sata da se [Unesite prisustvovanje] pojavi na powwow stranici i vidljivo je samo za organizatora powwow-a. Ako Vi niste organizator, možete kontaktirati tu osobu i zamoliti ju da unese prisustvovanje.
2.16 - Izvršio/-la sam transfer svojih powwow slika, ali ništa se nije desilo.
Može biti potrebno 24 sata da bi slike koje transferirate na svoju powwow stranicu postale vidljive. Ako nakon 24 sata ne vidite te slike, molimo da ponovo pokušate izvršiti njihov transfer i da podnesete zahtjev za podršku.
2.17 - Na koji način se dodjeljuju BrowniZ bodovi za organizovanje/prisustvovanje powwows-ima?
Da bi organizator i učesnici dobili browniz bodove, organizator mora popuniti online radni list o učestvovanju. BrowniZ bodovi će biti pripisani u toku onog dana u kojem se evidentira radni list o učestvovanju.
Ako ne postoji službeni organizator, ali neko ko je učestvovao na powwow-u je popunio radni list o učestvovanju (ili poznaje sve koji su učestvovali), ta osoba treba podnijeti zahtjev za podršku tražeći da mu/joj se dozvoli da evidentira učestvovanje na powwow-u. Oni će za to dobiti 2000 BrowniZ bodova, i pobrinuće se da svaki od učesnika dobije svojih 200 BrowniZ bodova.
Nije praktično da ProZ.com osoblje prijavljuje učestvovanje pojedinaca. Računa se na organizatore da oni podnesu izvještaj o učestvovanju. Ako niste dobili browniZ bodove za powwow na kojem ste učestvovali, molimo da kontaktirate organizatora svog powwow-a.
3 - ProZ.com conferences - learning, networking and fun!
ProZ.com Conferences and Seminars
3.1 - Šta je to ProZ.com konferencija?
ProZ.com konferencije su regionalni ili internacionalni događaji za koje treba platili registraciju pri prijavi, veći su i bolje organizovani nego powwow društvena okupljanja i namijenjeni su prevodiocima i interpretatorima koji su registrovani na ProZ.com-u. Organizuje ih ProZ.com koordinator konferencije uz pomoć jednog ili više lokalnih organizatora.
ProZ.com konferencije pružaju mogućnosti za lično ostvarivanje poslovnih veza, obuku, diskusije, prezentacije, profesionalno usavršavanje i druženje, što je i sadržano u motu konferencije ProZ.com konferencije – učenje, umrežavanje i zabava!
3.2 - Koja je razlika između regionalnih i međunarodnih konferencija?
Međunarodne konferencije se održavaju jednom godišnje i veće su od regionalnih konferencija. Njihova ciljna grupa su svi ProZ.com korisnici. Kao rezultat, međunarodne konferencije su događaji koji su isključivo odvijaju na engleskom jeziku.
Regionalne konferencije su prvenstveno namijenjene prevodiocima koji žive na određenom području ili rade na određenom jeziku. Sesije na regionalnim događajima mogu biti na engleskom ili lokalnom jeziku, a neke sesije mogu obrađivati teme koje su od interesa prvenstveno onima u lokalnom području ili koji rade na odabranom jeziku. Iako oni koji ne rade na odgovarajućem jeziku niti žive u lokalnom području neće biti spriječeni da prisustvuju regionalnim događajima, važno je da se ciljna publika jasno objavi kako se ne bi razočarali oni koji odluče da prisustvuju događaju u svakom slučaju.
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 - Ko organizuje ProZ.com konferencije?
ProZ.com konferencije organizuje koordinator ProZ.com konferencija u saradnji s lokalnim organizatorom ili lokalnim kontaktom.
3.6 - Na koji način se biraju lokacije za konferencije?
Skoncentrisanost članova, saobraćajna infrastruktura i cijena smještajnih kapaciteta su ključni faktori pri odabiru lokacija za konferencije. Stoga, konferencije se uglavnom održavaju u oblastima s relativno gustom populacijom ProZ.com članova.
Turistički i kulturološki interes također igraju važnu ulogu pri izboru lokacije za konferenciju.
3.7 - Šta se dešava na konferencijama?
Konferecije su obično događaji koji traju 2 dana i koji se održavaju tokom vikenda.
Može se dogoditi da tamo budu i drugi događaji koji se zakazano podudaraju s datumima konferencije, kao što su to događaji za obuku. Oni će biti izreklamirani na veb-sajtu konferencije i biće zasebno naplaćeni.
3.8 - Ko može ići na konferencije?
Prisustvovati može svako ko je registrovan preko ProZ.com-a, bez obzira na članski status. Dobrodošli su i freelance samostalni radnici i kompanije. Svaki učesnik mora biti registrovan na stranici za konferenciju – shodno tome, ako želite doći zajedno s prijateljem ili porodicom koji žele prisustvovati na aktuelnoj konferenciji (sesijama, radionicama itd) tada za tu osobu morate izraditi račun na ProZ.com-u. Podsjetite se da je to brzo, besplatno i jednostavno! Međutim, za osobu u Vašoj pratnji ne morate izraditi račun ako će ta osoba prisustvovati samo na društvenim događajima i drugim okvirnim aktivnostima.
3.9 - Mogu li povesti svoju porodicu/supružnika/partnera?
Da. Međutim, moguće je da na mjestu održavanja konferencije neće biti smještajnih objekata za brigu o djeci. Molimo da za više detalja provjerite relevantni veb-sajt konferencije.
Korisnici koji bi željeli dovesti goste na konferencijsku večeru mogu to učiniti kupovinom karte na odgovarajućem veb-sajtu konferencije.
Postoje dvije različite vrste gostiju: oni koji dolaze da prisustvuju konkretnoj konferenciji i oni koji su samo u pratnji učesnika. Molimo da pogledate 3.6 "Ko može ići na konferencije?"
3.10 - Hoću li moći raditi za vrijeme učestvovanja na konferenciji?
Neki korisnici su zabrinuti zbog odsutnosti iz kancelarije i propuštanja zadataka. Većina mjesta na kojima se održava konferencija nude bežični pristup interentu, besplatno ili za malu naknadu. Na nekim konferencijama, pristup internetu je dio konferencijskog paketa kojeg kupite, ali to nije uvijek slučaj. Relevantna stranica konferencije pruža te informacije.
3.11 - Da li dobijam BrowniZ bodove za prisustvo na konferenciji?
Ne. Ne postoje BrowniZ bodovi za prisustvo na konferenciji, ali ako ostavite svoj povratni komentar za sesije na kojima ste prisustvovali dobićete 20 BrowniZ bodova za svaki povratni komentar.
3.12 - Da li će biti prisutan ProZ.com predstavnik?
ProZ.com nastoji da pošalje predstavnika na sve konferencije. To može biti član osoblja ili moderator. U tom slučaju, osoblje zvanično imenuje moderatora da predstavlja ProZ.com na događaju.
3.13 - A kako u vezi smještaja?
Smještaj nije uključen u naknade za konferenciju, osim u rijetkim i iznimnim slučajevima. U većini slučajeva, glavno mjesto za održavanje konferencije je hotel koji će ugostiti većinu učesnika konferencije – organizatori mogu imati dogovor s hotelom konferencije, nudeći hotelske sobe za učesnike po sniženoj cijeni, ali to nije uvijek slučaj.
Učesnici konferencije će trebati sami napraviti svoje aranžmane za rezervaciju i plaćanje s hotelom po svom izboru.
U većini slučajeva, organizatori nude popis hotela (svih raspona cijena) u blizini mjesta održavanja konferencije, preko stranice konferencije i/ili foruma konferencije. U svakom slučaju, molimo da pogledate relevantnu stranicu konferencije.
3.14 - Kako da se registrujem za konferenciju?
Da biste se registrovali za konferenciju, posjetite relevantnu stranicu konferencije i na lijevoj margini ispod menija konferencije odaberite paket kojeg želite kupiti i kliknite na Kupi odmah. To će Vas odvesti na platformu za plaćanje koja će Vas voditi kroz proces plaćanja i ponuditi Vam različite načine plaćanja (kreditnom karticom online preko Paypal-a, bankovnog transfera, ProZ.com Wallet-a, Moneybookers-a, Paypal-a ...).
Morate biti prijavljeni na veb-stranici ProZ.com-a da biste se prijavili za konferenciju.
Molimo, imajte u vidu da kada kliknete na Prijavi se odmah a bez uplate, to Vas samo unaprijed registruje za konferenciju – to samo pokazuje da ste zainteresovani za događaj.
Vaše mjesto na konferenciji nije rezervisano sve dok se ne uplati.
3.15 - Želio/-la bih saznati više o programu konferencije. Koje tematske oblasti su obuhvaćene?
Većina konferencija nudi širok spektar sesija na različite teme koje su od interesa za većinu učesnika, a koje pokrivaju tehničke predmete, poslovna pitanja, diskusije o specijalnostima (npr. finansijske prijevode) i mnogo više. Neke konferencije mogu imati određenu temu na koju se fokusira većina sesija.
Molimo da posjetite tab Program relevantne konferencije (posjetite glavnu stranicu konferencije > lijevi meni > odaberite "Program")
3.16 - Kakve sesije mogu očekivati?
Postoje tri vrste sesija: prezentacije, fokus grupe, okrugli stolovi i radionice.
Prezentacije su konverzacije u stilu predavanja, često praćene kratkom sesijom pitanja i odgovora. Fokus grupe su dinamične sesije zasnovane na diskusiji, koje pružaju priliku razmijene ideja s kolegama prevodicima. Okrugli stolivi su panel-diskusije. Radionice su sesije praktične tehničke obuke. Da bi imali koristi od ovih sesija, učesnicima je obično potreban pristup laptopu.
3.17 - Ko vodi sesije?
Većinu sesija vode ProZ-kolege, ali tamo takođe mogu biti i vanjski izlagači.
3.18 - Moram li se prijaviti za sesije?
Preporučuje se prijava za sesije, kako bi organizator imao predstavu o tome koliko ima zainteresovanih osoba te da uklopi sobe i sesije.
3.19 - Kako da se prijavim za sesije?
Pod karticom Program na sajtu konferencije kliknite na link Prijava, za bilo koju sesiju na kojoj želite da prisustvujete.
3.20 - Prijavio/-la sam se za sesiju; moram li učestvovati?
Ne; ali ako se predomislite, preporučujemo da uklonite svoje ime s određene sesije, posebno ako postoji ograničen broj dostupnih mjesta.
3.21 - Broj osoba, registrovanih na stranici kursa, je veći od prijavljenog kapaciteta za kurs. Da li se ipak mogu registrovati? Da li ću imati mjesto na kursu?
Možete se registrovati sve dok ne bude navedena indikacija „kurs je popunjen“. Ne postoji ograničenje za registraciju za kurs, ali samo oni sa statusom „registrovano i plaćeno“ imaju rezervisano i osigurano mjesto na kursu. Kada broj učesnika koji su se „registrovali i platili“ dostigne planirani kapacitet, registracija za kurs će biti zatvorena.
3.22 - Koliko košta da se ode na konferenciju?
Naknada za konferenciju zavisi od lokacije i budžeta konferencije. Također, postoje troškovi putovanja i smještaja, kao i hrane i pića izvan konferencije za koje treba imati budžet.
Članovi sajta dobijaju popust kod naknade za registraciju.
3.23 - Šta uključuje naknada za konferenciju?
Naknada za konferenciju uključuje prisustvo na konferenciji. U danima održavanja konferencije, ručak, večera i pauze za kafu mogu ali i ne moraju biti uključeni, ovisno o lokaciji događaja. Produžetak članstva nije uključen u naknadu za konferenciju.
3.24 - Kako da uplatim za konferenciju?
Konkretno za konferencije postoje različiti načini plaćanja:
- online preko kreditne kartice, PayPal ili Moneybookers
- transfer na namjenski račun
Za više detalja, molimo da pogledate relevantnu veb-stranicu 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 - Uplatio/-la sam za konferenciju, ali ne mogu doći. Hoću li dobiti povrat svog novca?
Politika otkazivanja vrijedi za svaku konferenciju. Molimo, pročitajte niže u nastavku.
3.27 - Kakva je politika u vezi otkazivanja konferencije?
Politika otkazivanja: "Učesnici koji otkažu svoje učešće najkasnije do 30 dana prije planiranog datuma konferencije dobiće povraćaj svojih naknada za registraciju umanjeno za 20% za administrativnu naknadu. Nakon tog vremena neće biti zagarantovane nikakve refundacije za otkazivanje. Refundacije će biti obrađene 30 dana nakon dobijanja pismene obavijesti o otkazivanju. Otkazivanja se moraju zatražiti putem slanja e-pošte i osobi koja planira ProZ.com konferenciju i lokalnom organizatoru. Alternativno, članovi mogu prebaciti svoju uplatu na drugu zakazanu konferenciju, bez plaćanja naknade i uplatiti samo razliku u cijeni."
3.28 - Mi smo prevodilačka kompanija. Koje su prednosti za kompanije koje prisustvuju na ProZ.com konferenciji?
Prisustvovanje na ProZ.com konferenciji povećava vidljivost spoljnog naručioca posla i otvara nove poslovne mogućnosti. Direktan kontakt s freelance samostalnim radnicima u takvoj prilici može dodatno pridonijeti jačanju odnosa između spoljnog naručioca posla i freelance samostalnih radnika, dok se u isto vrijeme ulaže u profesionalno razvoj kompanije i njenog osoblja.
Veliki izbor sponzorskih mogućnosti je takođe dostupan za kompanije koje podržavajući konferenciju žele da unaprijede svoj imidž i brendiranje.
3.29 - Treba mi pozivnica da bi mogao/-la dobiti vizu za sudjelovanje na konferenciji. Šta treba da uradim?
Član ProZ.com osoblja će pomoći u tome i dati pozivno pismo koje možete predstaviti u relevantnoj ambasadi/konzulatu u svojoj zemlji. Molimo da podnesete zahtjev za podršku, zajedno sa sljedećim informacijama za pismo:

3.31 - Nisam u mogućnosti da prisustvujem ni na jednoj od konferencija. Da li će sesije biti dostupne nakon događaja?
U toku su planovi za snimanje nekih od sesija te da se iste učine dostupne za kupovinu preko DVD-a i/ili preko striminga.
3.32 - Kako da ostavim povratnu informaciju u vezi sesija?
Možete ostaviti povratne informacije samo za sesije za koje ste se unaprijed prijavili.
Da biste ostavili povratnu informaciju, na veb-sajtu konferencije otiđite na karticu Program, pronađite sesiju za koju želite ostaviti povratnu informaciju i kliknite na link Pošalji povratnu informaciju. To će otvoriti stranicu s kratkim upitnikom.

A full and detailed article on organizing a ProZ.com conference is available here.
4.2 - Koje su prednosti kada se postane lokalni organizator?
Organizacija ProZ.com konferencije je uistinu jedinstveno i zahvaljujuće iskustvo. Fantastičnu priliku za organizatore predstavlja izazov da urade nešto drugačije, da rukovode i komuniciraju s ljudima iz cijelog svijeta – umrežavanje s prevodilačkom zajednicom ali također u okviru lokalne zajednice.
Organizatori saznaju nove vještine, ostvaruju kontakte s kompanijama, udruženjima i ostalim značajnim sudionicima u industriji. Nadalje, mogli biste ustanoviti da eksponiranost koja se stekne preko organizovanja konferencije unapređuje njihov prevodilački posao i ProZ.com profil.
4.3 - Kakva je funkcija lokalnog organizatora?
Ispod se nalazi neiscrpan popis nekih zadataka i odgovornosti koje ima lokalni organizator (potpune pojedinosti će se dati u daljnjem koraku). Organizatori izvještavaju osoblje ProZ.com konferencija u bilo kojoj od faza, a potonji će pružiti podršku organizatorima kad god im je to potrebno.
Prije konferencije:
- Budžetiranje i finansijsko planiranje
- Pronalaženje odgovarajućeg mjesta za održavanje događaja
- Kreiranje i održavanje veb-sajta konferencije
- Konstruisanje programa
- Komunikacija s osobama koje će sudjelovati i izlagačima (odgovaranje na e-poštu, sastavljanje mejlova itd)
- Obezbjeđivanje fotografija za veb-sajt konferencije
- Prevođenje materijala na lokalni jezik (stranica konferencije, mejlovi, pozivnice za vizu itd)
- Pripremanje konferencijskih materijala (štampanje, rezanje i ubacivanje u naziv bedžova, folderi itd)

Ako imate bilo kakvih pitanja o zadacima, molimo kontakirajte koordinatora konferencije.
4.4 - Da li je to volonterska funkcija ili ću dobiti platu?
Po uslovom da konferencija ostvari profit, organizatori dobijaju svoj udio u dobiti. Određeni % ovog udjela je dogovoren prije početka planiranja događaja. Ako postoje dva organizatora, taj iznos će biti podijeljen izneđu njih prema njihovom nahođenju. Ako događaj ostvari gubitak, organizatori neće primiti nikakvu isplatu, ali ni od njih se neće očekivati da pokriju bilo kakve troškove.
4.5 - Da li će ova funkcija ometati moj prevodilački posao?
Ponekad, da. Očekujte da provedete oko 100 sati u aktivnostima vezanim za konferenciju, i planirajte da posvetite većinu svog radnog vremena u komunikaciji sa sudionicima u jednoj ili dvije sedmice koje prethode događaju.
Ako to zvuči kao veliki izazov, zapamtite da nećete biti sami. Uz saradnju s osobom koja planira događaje da Vam pomogne da dobro obavite glavne aktivnosti koje prethode događaju, možete pomoći da se umanji neposredni uticaj vašeg učešća na konferenciji na Vaš freelance samostalni rad. Štaviše, mogli biste ustanoviti da eksponiranost koja se stekne preko organizovanja konferencije unapređuje Vaš prevodilački posao nakon događaja.
4.6 - Da li ću morati napraviti bilo kakvo financijsko planiranje?
Da, zajedno s kooridinatorom za konferencije.
4.7 - Što ako se obavežem, ali nakon nekog vremena shvatim da ne mogu nastaviti s organizacijom konferencije?
Ako morate odustati, molimo da što prije obavijestite koordinatora za konferencije putem e-pošte.
Organizatori koji nisu u mogućnosti da isprate događaj do njegovog završetka neće dobiti kompenzaciju ni za jedan posao kojeg su obavili a biće refundirani samo opravdani troškovi koji su nastali tokom rada oko događaja.
4.8 - Želim postati lokalni organizator. Šta je moj sljedeći korak?
Odlično! Postati lokolani organizator može biti nagrađujuće iskustvo za Vas. Prije bilo kakvog planiranja, molimo da pažljivo pročitate članak "Organizovanje ProZ.com konferencije". Na kraju članka moći ćete nastaviti do sljedećeg koraka koji će vas odvesti na obrazac "Predložite konferenciju" gdje ćete moći poslati svoju ponudu za konferenciju. Koordinator za konferencije će Vas kontaktirati u roku od nekoliko dana nakon primitka Vaše ponude.

In this case follow the payment steps suggested in the special offer and purchase a training credit to be redeemed towards any course which costs the credit value or less. Once your payment is processed and a training credit is issued, redemption instructions will be emailed to you.
To redeem a training credit, feel free to purchase the training by clicking on a "Purchase for $ (Use purchase credit)" button on your right as it is suggested on this screenshot.

• If using a microphone, it should be at least 1.5 feet away from any speakers built in or connected to your PC.
• 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
Dropped words, delay or robotic sound during webinar presentation is often due to poor network performance, lack of memory or high CPU usage. Please close all applications you are not using during the presentation.
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.
