Let's stay in touch Aug 1, 2017

Great, I made a note of your mobile phone number. If we don't bump into each other by chance, I am planning to give you a buzz and we can meet up if you are interested.
Given that apparently we will be distributed by last names for the networking event, we might end up on the same boat as well...

I went to FIT for the whole three days. Personally I felt the event was mostly a waste of time and money for a freelance translator like myself except for the PD points. I wonder what others feel, maybe somebody have some positive experience to share?

And finally a lot of fun talking to people who do exactly what you do and understand where you are coming from!
