ATA61 is going virtual!

The location has changed, but the experience has not!

 

Given the current global pandemic, we will not be able to meet in Boston as originally planned. However, ATA61 will offer 120 live sessions, a job fair, an exhibit hall, and other opportunities to learn and network virtually.

Visit the official conference website now to register and start your planning for four days packed with learning and networking experiences from October 21 to October 24―including sixteen Advanced Skills and Training sessions that you can sign up for to complement your conference experience.

As for added interaction during the conference, the ATA has created a unique hashtag for each session, so we can share our comments on Twitter in real time. Make sure you use each session hashtag, combined with #ATA61 and #PLDATA, when interacting with other conference-goers and the speakers themselves.

Here’s a list of sessions of interest to PLD members, presented by PLD speakers or presenters from Portuguese-speaking countries who will be sharing their knowledge and experience this year:
