The Cardiff Translation Unconference has been launched, after months of deliberating and discussion.
The unconference is being brought to you by five freelance translators based in and around Cardiff: Juliet Haydock, Jason Shilcock, Alexandra Chapman, Victoria Burns and Lloyd Bingham. As regular conference-goers, we spotted a gap in the traditional CPD offering. Our profession is not short of classic conference formats, where you can listen to a presenter talk about a certain topic for 50 minutes,followed by 10 minutes of Q&A. Some conferences have even become more innovative in recent years with TED-style talks. But that very short period of Q&A often brings an array of excellent insights, experience and expertise from a variety of perspectives to the fore. So, why don't we have a conference focusing on exactly that? One that is organised from the bottom up and is participant-driven? And why don't we do it sustainably, cutting down on the unnecessary extras that we don't really need, and make it more affordable at the same time? That's exactly what the Cardiff Translation Unconference is about. Over the next few months, we look forward to refining our ideas, clarifying the concept, answering your questions and asking for your input. Expect tickets to go on sale in spring 2020.
