2019 ATC Language Industry Summit launched

The Association of Translation Companies (ATC) has launched its 2019 Language Industry Summit and announced its headline programme for 19-20 September.

Taking place at the historic Royal Naval College on the banks of the River Thames, in Greenwich, London, the Summit’s theme Business. Community. Evolution. brings together stakeholders from across the UK and the international language services industry.

The programme has been designed to be an event of two halves, with the focus on Thursday 19 September dedicated to the accelerating M&A trends within and outside the language services industry; setting up shop overseas; building business locally; and the perennial challenge for businesses great and small: late payments.

The programme on Friday 20 September sees the use of automation, AI and MT in innovation and as an enabler of global communications; excellence through specialisation; the hiring and motivation of staff; sales ethos on a low budget; and the results of the forthcoming ATC Language Industry Survey 2019.

With keynote speakers from The Business Buyers Club and Deloitte UK, the Small Business Commissioner’s Office as well BBC Monitoring, EY, and renowned speakers from across the language services industry, the ATC Language Industry Summit is truly not to be missed.

ATC’s CEO Raisa McNab invite delegates from across the industry to the event: “This year’s Language Industry Summit takes place at the heart of Greenwich Mean Time, with an outstanding, business-focused programme designed to appeal to LSPs of all shapes and sizes.  The Summit’s theme Business. Community. Evolution. has been developed to have an open, professional discussion about the possibilities and challenges the language industry faces, and the context in which it operates.”

“Summit offers much for the smaller LSP in terms of practical information and support, while delivering a global perspective for larger organisations across key issues that translation businesses are already engaged with. We are excited about the opportunities Summit offers, and we look forward to welcoming everyone to Greenwich.”

The Summit’s Easter Chick promotion runs until 22 April, with an Early Bird booking rate available until 30 June. To register for the ATC Language Industry Summit and find out more, please click here or contact the secretary@atc.org.uk.
