sessions
We Will Present Different Formats
There will be sessions focusing on professional exchange as well as on interesting organisations offering services and opportunities to translators from the German language. We will invite renowned German-speaking authors and, of course, translating colleagues who have translated their works into languages of the Asia Pacific region. We’ll do some trainings and also integrate title pitching sessions. However, networking is king, and we’ll make sure we have sufficient time for that in each session.
Upcoming Session
Wait for the new session!
