Virtual Happy Hour Events!
Did you know we hold bi-monthly Happy Hours via Zoom on the last Saturday of uneven months?
Come join us in our ATA Audiovisual Division Happy Hours, to share our passion for translation, audiovisual or not! It is always so nice to chat with colleagues and make new friends.
The meetings are held in a private Zoom session, and we split up into small groups so that everyone can get in on the conversation.
Everybody is invited, whether they have oodles of experience in audiovisual translation, are just starting out, are a bit AVT-curious, or have no interest whatsoever but still need to fit one more Zoom meeting into their agenda. Our Happy Hour events are free and open to all.
Don’t miss the next one on January, Saturday 27, 2023 at 10 a.m. Pacific Time! Registration will open soon, and you will get an email with the Zoom details to join. See you there!

Dive into the new audiovisual frontier with a respeaking course
You have until January 26th, 2020, to pre-enroll, so don’t lose this opportunity!
First Online Course in Interlingual Respeaking (English-Spanish) (University of Vigo, Spain)
This is the only online course in the world on interlingual respeaking, that is, focused on training students to provide interlingual subtitles for live TV programmes and live events, making them accessible for a wide audience (hearing, deaf and hard of hearing, the elderly, children, foreigners, migrants, refugees, etc.). The course includes modules on simultaneous interpreting (English-Spanish), intralingual respeaking (Spanish-Spanish) and interlingual respeaking (English-Spanish). It is suitable for anyone interested in translation and interpreting and, in particular, those who have an interest in audiovisual translation and the provision of accessibility services.
