The Colorado Translators Association 4th Annual Conference addresses continuing
education topics related to translation, localization and editing. The Conference
provides an environment for learning, sharing new ideas and updates about CAT
tools.
The Conference Committee is requesting proposals across a broad range of topics
related to our industry.
INDIVIDUAL AND CO-PRESENTATIONS
Individual presentations provide an opportunity for presenters to discuss and/or
present topics of interest to the translation, interpretation and localization industries.
PANELS
Panels provide an opportunity to present multiple perspectives on a specific topic and
engage the audience in active discussion about an issue. To allow each panelist
sufficient time to present his or her perspective and still enable audience
participation, a panel will normally have at most four panelists. Panel submissions
should include a list of the panelists, their affiliations, and a description of the topic,
with brief position statements from panelists. Panel abstracts must not exceed two
pages.
