Call for Speakers
ATA is now accepting session proposals for ATA67. We seek advanced, specialized, relevant, and original content that will give attendees an edge in their careers, set them apart from the competition, and provide an advantage over AI. ATA67 will be a fully in-person conference.
Proposals must be received by March 6, 2026. Submit your proposal today!
If you have any questions, please email Cat Kenol, Senior Professional Development and Events Coordinator at ataspeakers@atanet.org.
Submission is open to everyone
Speakers come from all over the world and volunteer to share their experience and expertise with all attendees. They are working translators and interpreters, many of whom are also educators, attorneys, physicians, CEOs, and managers.
By contributing to the advancement of your profession, you will build your reputation and résumé, widen your networking circle, and position yourself as a key player to help shape the future of the T&I industry.
Proposals will be chosen through a competitive peer-review process. The Conference Organizer, along with experts in the relevant language and subject area, will assess each proposal's relevance and its potential to engage the audience and stimulate discussion.
You do not have to be an ATA member to submit a proposal.
