Post title: Won't be able to wait till then - 2 items to discuss - sorry duplicated as previous did not appear

Was expecting 1500, not 1600 London time. Will therefore not be able to be there live. Had two suggestions I wanted to raise there:
(1) Professional liability insurance. Can the Certified Proz translators' network negotiate any preferential deals for members on this? (Maybe there is already a thread on Proz. If so please advise)
(2) Athens and other similar online content. I often need to look things up for translation purposes and find access to subscription periodicals barred. I was wondering whether as a translators' network we could agitate for free or very cheap (limited if necessary) access to online content for translators.
Those were my two ideas that I wanted to raise. I may not have time to await any reactions from the group as to whether these two ideas are feasible.

Post title: Links to the page we are now on

The link supplied is to the page we are now on. I have reopened the ticket and suggested the answerer click the link he has supplied and see for himself. But that is not helping us.
Meanwhile - having missed the first powwow - and having checked that these points were not mentioned in the previous one - there are two things I was thinking I would want to discuss:
(1) Liability insurance - could we as Certified Pros possibly negotiate some good deals on translator liability insurance? If there is already a forum on this, would like to have info.
(2) Athens and other online content. I often need to research technical and medical terms on the Internet for translation purposes but I don't actually need access to the article for any other purpose. I am continually frustrated by not being able to gain access to online documents to which one needs to subscribe. I was wondering whether we could use our group identity to pressurise for some type of free or very cheap access for translators (limited if necessary) to online material which is otherwise restricted. Any ideas or reactions on this?

Post title: Greetings to my fellow translators

Hi everyone. Actually it is my first time to attend this virtual powwow. The other day I submitted a support request to ask where to log in so I would be able to attend the powwow. I was given a ticket and was asked to click this link [url removed] When I clicked the link I was directed in this page where I can see the "Home", "Registrants", "Sessions", "Exhibitors" and "My data" pages. The only page I see where my fellow translators are active is this thread. Maybe we will be having the powwow via thread? or it hasn't started yet? because according to my time there is still 30 minutes left before it starts. Can someone please try to click the link I have here, and let me know if they were directed in the same page as I am in now? Thanks a lot!

Best regards!

Only you can get to your ticket. It is a personal/ private thing. We cannot access, so we cannot see the link you mention either.

If It's 1600, I can't attend at all as otherwise engaged. I have put in a support request for a link to the conference. If I get one and still have time before 1600, I'll post it in this forum.

Post title: I can't get in either!

I did at one point manage to see the list of people who had registered, but speakers, exhibitors and events are a blank. Nothing happens when I click the link, and I have waited a LONG time looking at that blurry empty auditorium....

With about an hour to go before it starts, I am wondering what else I am going to see.

Everyone seemed so keen about the last virtual powwow...

Thank you, Gersi, but this post is already in a thread IN the virtual conferences page, actually, in the powwow page.

Where do I go from there?

I haven`t received any special link for logging in as opposed to other online events.

How do I connect or visit the powwow? I don't seem to find the way via the powwow page either.
