Join interpreters from around the world to share ideas and experiences, and yes, even share a serving of poutine!
The joint NAI/IC International Conference on Interpretation is set for May 3-7, 2015 in the beautiful city of Montreal.
Participants from 30-70 countries come to this annual international conference.
   
Theme: Changing Boundaries, Changing Times
Day by day, technology and social networking become more ingrained in our lives, in our careers, and in the way our sites operate. For future generations, the borders of our organizations - like our countries - will become ever more changeable, fluid, and perhaps even insignificant. Join us in Montreal as we welcome interpreters from throughout the world for a week of sharing experiences and learning new skills, reports on recent research in interpretation and discussions of the future of interpretation.

Rates are equal for IC and NAI members, members and non-members, and for everyone anywhere in the world.
