The Interpreters Division provides this calendar of upcoming events (conferences, webinars, workshops, etc.) that may be of interest to interpreters. The calendar also includes training events offered by ATA members to other ATA members. These training events must provide either continuing education credits or a member-to-member discount or be sponsored by a non profit.

Divisions may maintain calendars on their websites listing events/courses that have been approved for continuing education points, that offer an ATA member-to-member benefit, or that are organized by a non-profit organization [ATA Divisions Handbook]

To add an event, please follow these instructions.

ATA Webinar Series: Sight for Simul

  • Date: August 4, 2021 / 7.:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. U.S. EDT
  • Presenter: Katty Kauffman
  • Description: We have all been there: an attorney or a conference delegate walks in, comes over, hands us a document (a speech, a proffer), and says, “I tend to read very quickly, so I brought you a copy.”  We thank the speaker, skim through it, and make some notes. What happens next is key. Do you put it aside, close your eyes, and just focus on the spoken words? Or do you read along, interpreting as you go, and adjust to additions and deletions on the fly?  If you are in the former group, this session is for you! Attend and learn key techniques to translate your sight-reading skills into the simultaneous mode. Come prepared to practice!
