Powwows are informal gatherings of groups of ProZ.com users living in close proximity. The events are organized by local translators for local translators.
By bringing together language professionals who live in close proximity, these gatherings provide a unique opportunity for people to forge meaningful connections beyond virtual interactions. Whether sharing ideas, discussing industry trends or even just enjoying each other's company, powwows facilitate genuine interactions that enrich both personal and professional lives.
In today's interconnected world, the value of face-to-face interactions cannot be overemphasized. While virtual platforms facilitate communication across great distances, nothing can replace the authenticity and warmth of in-person connections. powwows bridge the digital realm and the real world, creating spaces where translators can come together, share stories and celebrate their shared passion for language and culture. Whether it's a cozy coffee shop meetup or a bigger event, each powwow adds to the diverse experiences of the ProZ.com community.
The best thing about powwows is that everyone can organize them. Want to learn how? Watch the video recording of the last Meetup "Translators wanna have fun: ProZ.com powwows" and learn how to do it!
After two weeks, this video will be exclusive to Plus and Premium members, so hurry up and don't lose the chance to watch the recording video!

There has never been a powwow in El Salvador, and it is likely that there will never be one.

I would never attend or organise anything called a 'powwow'. I genuinely think there would be more take-up if these were renamed to 'meet-ups' or similar.

Pow-Wow Social gatherings for ceremonial and celebratory purposes conducted under strict protocols.
Avoid using the phrase to refer to a quick business meeting or informal social gathering as this is a form of cultural appropriation. Instead use terms like meeting, gathering, or huddle
