We have been beavering away behind the scenes for a few months now, and… I am now delighted to announce

The Second WordstoDeeds Conference 2018: The Value of Legal Translation Professionals

After the success of the 2017 conference  “Legal Translation to the Next Level“, and above all kind encouragements from so many attendees… here is the second annual event in what is set to become a fixture.

Its aims are to build bridges among legal translation professionals and between academia, institutions and practice, to provide a venue for high-quality continuing professional development and networking, to exchange new ideas and approaches, and last but not least to raise visibility for the highly skilled, essential but little-known profession of legal translation.

We have a packed programme on Saturday 3 February 2018, once again in the heart of the legal area of the City of London, at the historic Gray’s Inn, preceded by a full day of à la carte workshops at other prestigious central locations on Friday 2 February 2018 to be announced soon (separate registrations for the workshops, which are strictly for conference attendees only). By popular request, there will also be a social event on the Sunday 4 February 2018 for those who wish to stay on.

You can find out more from the conference website, and booking is through Eventbrite here or through the registration page of the conference website. We are able to offer a substantial discount for early bird booking, as it will help to reduce organizational costs. This year registration will close on 23 December 2017 for logistic reasons.

The conference Twitter hashtag is #W2D2018.

All that’s left for me is to say let’s once again roar to the world out there that legal translators exist, and are a force to be reckoned with, and make this another roaring success!
