Conferences and events for translators and interpreters

Conferences remain one of the few places where the profession gathers in one room. This page collects conferences, symposia and larger networking events across the language industry: annual gatherings run by national and international professional associations, academic conferences in translation and interpreting studies, industry events focused on technology and localisation, and smaller regional meet-ups. Many now run hybrid or fully online, which has made attendance far more practical for freelancers who cannot justify travel. Beyond the sessions themselves, these events are where people find collaborators, mentors and direct clients — often the more valuable outcome. Listings include dates, locations and formats where organisers have published them. Skilliga is free to use and volunteer-run, with no paid placements.
