The 36th AUSIT National Conference on the theme: ‘Building bridges, strengthening alliances: Translation and interpreting in today’s connected world‘ will take place from 23 to 25 November 2023 at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia.

The AUSIT National Conference is an annual gathering in Australia of professionals, scholars, language service providers, policy makers and enthusiasts from the field of translation and interpreting.

As an aside, this blogger is always impressed by the way in which the judiciary are so much more involved in translation in Australia than elsewhere. As an example, The Hon. Justice François Kunc will deliver one of the keynote addresses.

This conference serves as a platform for exchange, learning and networking, bringing together individuals passionate about breaking language barriers and fostering understanding in an increasingly interconnected world. 

The 2023 conference will delve into the crucial role that translators and interpreters play in facilitating communication and understanding across diverse cultures, communities and industries. In the national space, where important policies and protocols relating to translation and interpreting have been published but not fully implemented, the conference will also provide the opportunity to reflect on essential next steps.
