Sessions for interpreters - call for speakers Jul 10, 2007

Dear All

At past conferences, there often were few or no sessions specifically aimed at interpreters. I would like to change this and run at least one or two sessions on interpreting-related subjects at future conferences. But I need your contributions to make this possible.

If you are thinking about attending one or more of the three autumn conferences and have an idea for a session on interpreting that you'd like to run in German or English I want to hear all about it

Please send me an e-mail with your suggestion and I'll give you access to a speaker form where you can fill in the details.

I would also like to hear your program suggestions for sessions on interpreting. Please enter those in this forum topic.

For example, I would love to have a session on the technical aspects of subtitling, such as what kind of equipment is curren

If there is insufficient interest from the Proz community for speakers, do conference organizers plan to go outside the community and possibly hire professionals to give sessions? For example, I would love to have a session on the technical aspects of subtitling, such as what kind of equipment is currently used, programs that translators use in their homes to subtitle and an overview of how they work.
