Lunchtime language exchange

Freelance language professionals often work independently, making it easy to miss out on the informal conversations and peer support that can be so valuable. The Lunchtime language exchange creates an opportunity to connect with other members, share insights, discuss language-related challenges, and learn from one another in a relaxed and supportive environment.

A facilitator will be present to guide the discussion, but the session will be shaped by attendee questions and contributions. Whether you’re just starting out or have years of experience, you’re warmly invited to join the conversation. Have a tricky translation, an interpreting challenge, a terminology question, or simply want to hear how others approach their work? Bring your lunch, bring your questions, and enjoy an informal exchange of ideas and experiences.

This event is exclusive for ITI members, and places are limited, so early booking is recommended.
