As a freelance translator, the most important benefit with the NTIF-conference 2012 was to be able to network with both existing and potential agency customers, and to be able to follow the discussions from their perspective. The presentations from the first day were more interesting for me as a freelancer, while the sessions on day two focused more on the translation companies. It was a very well organized conference with 155 participants from 25 different countries and everyone had a good time.
