The American Translators Association is now accepting presentation proposals for the ATA 59th Annual Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana, October 24-27, 2018.

The Annual Conference attracts more than 1,600 attendees, bringing together translators, interpreters, educators, and company owners. Making a presentation to such a diverse audience is an excellent way to gain recognition as a leader and expert in your field!

Submissions are invited from all areas of translation and interpreting, including finance, law, medicine, literature, media, science and technology, terminology, independent contracting, business management, and training/pedagogy. Sessions may be language specific or general.

Submission proposals must be received by March 2, 2018.
