The American Translation Association’s Annual Conference is a game-changing event for translators and interpreters of all levels. Held this fall in Portland, Oregon, the ATA65 provided an excellent opportunity for professionals to gain useful insights, share their experiences and achieve recognition. 

During the event, attendees were engaged in educational sessions and job recruitment events, while networking with colleagues. ATA conferences have helped many translators and interpreters transform their careers, which is why this event is valued by many professionals in the field. The Language Doctors (TLD), an American translation and interpretation agency, could not miss this exciting conference and was one of the participating companies this year. 

After the ATA 65th Annual Conference, The Language Doctors was favorably impressed with prominent presentations and discussions on the latest trends in translation and interpretation. 

The conference gathered top experts in the field, including representatives from the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and Mr. Trados from RWS. The TLD team had an excellent opportunity to connect with Geoffrey Westgate from WIPO, featuring potential future collaboration in advanced areas like AI in translation. We also had a chance to listen to Danial Brockmann’s session on AI’s impact on the industry, attended by a large audience of language professionals interested in technological advancement. 

A remarkable experience for TLD was our presentation during the conference, which received positive feedback, highlighting the professional level and relevance of our topic and speech. It was amazing to notice a significant interest from conference attendees in joining The Language Doctors, which was sparked by our innovative session topics and swag items.

The conference provided an opportunity for the linguistic community to come together to share, learn and enjoy the event. From festive Halloween activities to insightful conversations, we built new connections and strengthened existing ones. We gained invaluable insights into the latest trends and needs within the translation industry and will participate in such events in the future to sustain and develop TLD’s industry standing and network.

Marking its 7th anniversary, this year’s Annual SCOPE Europe was full of insights, new case studies and networking. Across three days and six conferences, all attendees were fully engaged in the event and topics about the latest trends in clinical trial innovations and insights from their colleagues. The exhibit hall with more than 50 companies showcasing their cutting-edge technologies was open for visitors as well. The Language Doctors was one of the companies-participants, embodying the latest technological improvements in medical translation and interpretation. 

For The Language Doctors, it was the first major networking event and we aimed to make the most of it by exploring new partnership opportunities and learning as much as possible. It was a good chance for our representatives to improve both professionally and personally:

“During this event I aimed to meet the right people in the field, learn more about their experiences and business management, and stay up-to-date with the latest technologies in the medical sector. I saw it as an opportunity to grow both personally and professionally by learning from influential people in the EU market”

Nestor Mora, Sales Manager & Customer Success Lead

During the exhibit, we connected with professionals from the medical industry and gained insights into AI-driven solutions. We discovered new approaches to patient engagement, which are directly linked to linguistic services, and noticed how companies focus on diversity and inclusion. 

“This is where The Language Doctors is coming in, by helping break down language barriers, ensuring messages come across clearly, and allowing people to connect and understand one another”

Nestor Mora, Sales Manager & Customer Success Lead

We also focused on exploring the EU market and medical sector, learning about the current trends, best practices and possible challenges relevant to our services.

As a valuable contribution to the company’s growth, we initiated potential partnership negotiations that could help establish The Language Doctors in the EU market. These collaboration opportunities emerged with pharma companies, medical research organizations and non-profit groups, and we are excited to see what these connections might bring!

We enjoyed the event’s friendly atmosphere, which brought professionals together. The ease and hospitality of the event were clear: the food was so good that you could see people having a hard time deciding whether to grab a bite or keep chatting with everyone.

Taking part in this exhibit was a perfect opportunity for TLD to increase brand awareness, expand the network and gather valuable insights. Without a doubt, this event met and exceeded our expectations, and we look forward to participating in such events in the future!
