Just wanted to check in quickly with an update from yesterday. It was such a busy day that I did not even have a break. The first session I attended was a German>English financial translation seminar. Very specific, but very interesting for me. After that, I had lunch with a great Italian translator that I work with from San Francisco. We talked about translation... and guitars. That was followed by some networking and looking for new translators at the "translator marketplace". The afternoon session I attended was about international payment methods, and it will literally probably save me hundreds of dollars each year - very informative!
As I'm typing this, I just got done speaking with the linguist who translates Hillary Clinton's texts into French. What a job! At 10:00 this morning, I will have to decide between a session about the finances of a translation company and a session about "the end of translation as we know it" - both sound very interesting. Lunch today is with two Spanish-speaking native South American linguists... should be fun!
That's it for now. So far, this conference has been well worth the effort.
Best,
Geoff
