Conferences offer a host of rewards to translators who make the effort to attend them. Advantages of attending a Translation conference in 2019

There are good reasons for attending a Translation Conference. One of the main ones is being given the opportunity to pick up new knowledge from the conference speakers and the workshops offered throughout the event. Conferences are also great places for networking and meeting both fellow translators and contacts who could end up becoming clients. Freelance translators need something to motivate them and this is what attending a conference does.
