Translation companies, software editors, consultants and research institutes were some of the many professions represented at the conference. This conference dealt with the topic of cutting-edge technologies used in the translation industry. Participants could choose between two discussion groups: “IT-oriented” or “business-oriented” groups, allowing them to opt for the topic of their choice. Among the numerous topics covered during the conference, participants could, for instance, learn about automatic translation, the “two masters” where projects managers have to serve, or the use of Translation Management Systems (TMS) to ensure a company’s success.

Apart from attending the various presentations, participants could take part in networking sessions, or test a translation project management tool developed by the company which organized the conference. Morgane therefore came back very satisfied from this conference “It is essential for a translation company to attend these types of conferences. It allows them to stay informed about the latest technologies used in their field, and attend interesting presentations given by big names in the translation industry. It is also an opportunity to meet colleagues as well as customers and potential providers. This conference definitely lived up to my expectations in that respect.”
