The Colorado Translators Association 3rd 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.
STUDENT POSTERS
Posters provide an opportunity for students to present their individual research contributions,
particularly works in progress. Submissions from all areas of languages and linguistics are
encouraged. Students will display their posters, if selected, to determined areas of the Conference
venue.
