I speak regularly at national and international conferences, seminars and working groups on various aspects of translation, focusing on the in-house setting, in particular as a translator directly embedded into the supervisory setting. I am also happy to moderate sessions at conferences (either single or multiple presentations, panel discussions, or World Cafe (Weltcafe) format sessions). I’m also a very lively and engaged audience member – I usually have a question to ask to speakers on the subject.
