As a first-time attendee, I thought I would write about my experiences at the ATA conference last year in Chicago. I am a beginning translator, so I debated whether or not attending the conference would be worth my while.

Chantilly, already famous for horses and whipped cream, became known as a hive of French and English translation activity the first week of August 2015 as one hundred colleagues gathered to attend this year’s “Translate in…/On traduit à…” event. This language-specific series has mushroomed in both size and reputation since its inception in 2009. This year marks the first time it was held outside of North America and it did not fail to live up to expectations.
