September in Warsaw

Warsaw is really beautiful at the end of September.  I know you possibly have images of white winters in Poland but trust me, summer likes this city and usually tries to stay that bit longer and amazes us with spectacular Indian Summers. Hence, Warsaw is a great place to spend the last few days of September. You will be feeling very good after the brilliant presentation you have just delivered at TM-Europe 2011. A dozen or so attendees will have tweeted immediately about how insightful your presentation was and one will even tweet about how well you looked. You are finishing a beer with some new friends and notice from the business cards that these are the people your sales director told you to meet. What could be more pleasant?

Now you want to know how to achieve this dream. It is very simple  - go to the TM-Europe 2011 website and have a look at the call for papers, http://www.tm-europe.org/callforpapers2011, then write down what you've been meaning to say for years, and submit a proposal. You have until April 30th to submit a paper. This year the conference theme is “Process Management and Standards for the Translation and Localisation Industry”.  The conference gets quite a few submissions and the ones which get selected are those that adhered to the criteria announced in the call for papers and present the most insightful views and original angles.

The second XLIFF Symposium takes place on the pre-conference day of TM-Europe 2011 and the call for papers for that event will be published within a couple of weeks.

The TM-Europe International Conference is a lively event where you get to meet many translation industry people who do not notmally attend other conferences. One of the great things about the conference is the level of expertise, originality and good humour among the audience. It is also a great opportunity to enjoy Warsaw in September and enjoy the famous Polish hospitality.
