If you’re interested in a high-quality professional development opportunity this summer (particularly for EN>FR and FR>EN translators, but other languages are welcome too!), hop on over to Translate in the Catskills, which is running from August 21-23 in Maplecrest, NY (about 1 hr. south of Albany or 3 hrs. north of New York City). The conference’s focus is on target language writing skills and how they can help freelancers rise to the top of the market. The slate of instructors is really top-notch: Chris Durban, Grant Hamilton and Ros Schwartz for French to English and Dominique Jonkers and François Lavallée for English to French, and the conference’s size and location (at the Sugar Maples campus of the Catskill Mountain Foundation should allow for some excellent one-on-one time with the other translators who are attending!

Sounds really interesting, too bad I can’t go to both this conference and the ATA. I have posted about this on my blog as well and will add it to NITA’s website under “events”. Great job on organizing an entire conference — my hat is off to you!
