Welcome Reception Welcome to the ATA Annual Conference! This is the event that starts it all and is the highest attended event of the conference. Spend the evening with colleagues and friends. Be our guest for a selection of hors d'oeuvres, carving stations, and a hosted bar. Division Open House Meet and mingle with your fellow Division members. This event allows all Divisions to socialize and introduce themselves to newcomers. Attendees who are not members of a Division can also take this opportunity to get to know the different Divisions and learn more about them.
Speed Networking Session Don't miss this fun, exciting, and effective way to meet more people, make more contacts, and generate more business than you ever thought possible at one event. Speed Networking is a unique opportunity to accelerate your marketing potential in a very different environment from the typical networking meeting.
Exhibit Hall The ATA Exhibit Hall brings companies together in one place to fit the unique needs of translators and interpreters. See first hand the new products available, compare pricing, and meet the company owners and employees you have been doing business with for years or plan on doing business with in the future. Become an Exhibitor After Hours Café ATA's Literary Division hosts this coffeehouse "open mic" reading where attendees can drink in poetry, prose, and drama. Read your original or translated excerpt, listen to readings from our multitalented members, or both. If reading, don't forget to bring your works with you.
Stretch, Breathe, & Move Wake up, breathe, gather strength through yoga, connect with energy through Qi Gong, and have some fun with dance. Enjoy exercises to help translators with what you need most—targeted relaxation and stretching just where it feels best. Conference Dance Party Join us for entertainment that promises to get you on your feet. Mingle, laugh, and dance the night away as the DJ spins a mix of Brazilian, salsa, disco, pop, funk, 80s, and global dance music.
