Get ready for ATA64 with this webinar that will ensure you’re fully prepared and ready to network virtually before the conference!

ATA64 is around the corner! In this two-part webinar, you’ll learn how to make the most of your conference and get answers to your most burning questions about ATA’s Annual Conference. Part one will feature tips and tricks on what to do before, during, and after the conference from the Savvy Newcomer team (and a Miami native!). In part two, participate in a Q&A session and join a breakout room to meet other attendees for virtual pre-conference networking so you already have some familiar faces when you arrive. Can’t make part 1? A recording will be available on ATA’s website. Due to the live, interactive nature of part 2, it will not be recorded, but attendees are free to attend whichever part(s) they’ll find most useful.

This webinar is intended for translators, interpreters, in-house linguists, business owners, and others and will be given in English.
