Update on the AGM this Friday
October 29th, 2009 | | No Comments
The Annual General Meeting of the Language Technology Division will take place this Friday from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm in the Wilder session room on the 4th floor of the conference hotel.
The plan is to have devote 15 minutes to Division business, and to spend the remainder of the time on some of the subjects that have been generating a lot of discussions in recent weeks and months. We will have a panel of experts to speak to different areas, and Laurie Gerber has agreed to the overall moderation.
In particular, we hope that
- Beatriz Bonnet will be able to speak to the subject of TAUS and the cloud,
- Naomi Baer can offer some insights about Facebook and crowdsourcing, and
- Rosana Wolochwianski will speak to Google Translator Tool and MT.
Please mark this time slot on your schedule and come to this meeting. These are important subjects that will have implications for the translation profession – probably sooner rather than later.
