The 2026 ITA hybrid conference is a professional conference for translators and interpreters will place the spotlight on expertise, specialization, and high professional standards in a rapidly changing translation landscape. The event is designed for practitioners who seek to deepen their knowledge, expand their capabilities, and strengthen their position in demanding professional domains.
The conference program brings together experienced professionals in legal, technical, academic, and professional translation, alongside AI specialists and leading researchers in translation studies. The combined perspectives of practitioners and scholars will provide participants with both real-world insight and research-based context - creating a comprehensive view of the profession as it evolves.
Sessions will address a range of timely and complex topics, including ethics and responsibility in the AI era, risk assessment and reliability in machine translation, workflow and project-management strategies, localization practices in global markets, translator education and mentorship, and emerging expectations of professional competence.
Rather than focusing narrowly on technology or tools, the conference emphasizes the translator’s role as a knowledgeable, analytical, and accountable professional. Presentations will explore the challenges of working with sensitive legal and technical material, the need for precision and professional discretion, and the importance of maintaining quality and integrity in settings where errors carry significant consequences.
The event is also designed as a forum for professional reflection and community engagement. Participants will have the opportunity to learn from senior practitioners, exchange experience with colleagues, and engage in conversations about the values, standards, and long-term development of the profession.
In today’s environment - where translation is increasingly influenced by automation, accelerating workflows, and shifting market expectations - the organizers see professional expertise as more important than ever. The conference seeks to reaffirm the value of translators and interpreters as subject-matter specialists and decision-makers, whose work requires intellectual depth, analytical thinking, and ethical responsibility.
With a full day of lectures, discussions, and networking opportunities, the conference offers an in-depth learning experience for practitioners who want to remain relevant, precise, and forward-looking - and who view professional excellence as the foundation of their work.
