Eighth Conference of the Israel Translators Association (ITA)
Tools and Skills in the Information Age

The annual ITA conference is an international meeting of translators,
interpreters, localizers, subtitlers, editors, researchers,
translation company owners, project managers and related
professionals. The ITA promotes the profession by encouraging
information exchange, fostering research and providing opportunities
to enhance professionalism.
We invite you to share the work you do and your unique expertise with
us. Catering to veterans and beginners alike, the conference program
this year focuses on the tools and skills essential in today’s
information and communications age. We welcome your proposal for
topics that will help participants learn more about the profession and
how to manage their work, boost their productivity and… yes, even find
jobs.
Proposals in any of the following formats are welcome:
• Preconference workshop – up to three hours
• Presentation – up to 40 minutes (30-minute lecture and 10 minutes
for questions)
• Panel discussion – similar to a television news panel, in a panel
discussion a moderator helps panelists who represent diverse points of
view develop a dialog (up to 60 minutes + 15 minutes for Q&As)
The conference grows from year to year, and over 400 participants are
expected in 2010. It runs for two and a half days and is designed to
have broad range appeal. The ITA conference provides excellent value
for money, and is the best source of information and training. Don’t
