Translation Conferences 2018
Translation Conferences are great opportunities to learn, to network and to have fun. They also offer a chance to visit other countries and to meet colleagues and other industry professionals. Translation conferences are therefore very rewarding.
After the highly successful overviews of translation conferences in 2016 and 2017 I herewith present the translation conferences 2018 overview, ordered by month.
Just check the different tiles and hover over them with your mouse for more information. Click at the ‘Visit website’ button on the backside of a tile to learn more about a particular translation conference in 2018.

Other Translation Conferences in 2018
Organizing translation conferences is a tough job, so many annual translations are not yet announced. This overview only lists translation conferences in 2018 that are confirmed. If you know other translation conferences in 2018, please share them below in the comments section.
Linguistic conferences in 2018
Apart from the dedicated conferences for translators in 2018 there are many other interesting conferences that focus on language and linguistics. This Translation Conferences 2018 overview is only meant to list the conferences that focus on translation practices, software and business – not at conferences on language, semantics, phonetics, academical research and so on.

Great job, Pieter! Thanks a lot for this awesome timeline. What do you think about supplementing the list with “Add to Calendar” buttons next to the events?
Pieter Beens
Hi Simon, sounds like a great idea!
I need to sort it out however and probably needs to install a plugin for it. What calendar services are you thinking about?

III International Conference on Economic, Business, Financial and Institutional Translation
*CALL FOR PAPERS (ENGLISH)*
III International Conference on Economic, Business, Financial and Institutional Translation
June 27-29, 2018
University of Alicante, Spain
Webpage: https://dti.ua.es/en/tradeco/iii-icebfit/iii-international-conference-on-economic-business-financial-and-institutional-translation.html
*PRESENTATION*
According to The Language Services Market: 2015 (De Palma et al.) demand for language services, including translation, comes not only from Internet users, who require instant access to information in their own language, but also from companies that are attempting to compete and offer their products and services in several languages. The public sector and non-profit organizations also require language services to enable them to communicate effectively beyond their respective territorial boundaries. In this context, economic, commercial, financial and institutional translation plays a major role in the professional translation market and the workload for this type of translation is larger than other types such as literary translation.
Many translator training centers are aware of this reality as well as the need for training in this field. Their programs demonstrate this by including subjects dealing not only with specialized translation, but also with business or institutional translation. However, although trainers and researchers are increasingly studying this type of translation and its relation to terminology, new technologies, teaching, or contrastive analysis, it seems that this research does not currently produce the same volume of publications as, for example, literary translation.
In this scenario, the III International Conference on Economic, Business, Financial and Institutional Translation, following successful conferences in 2014 (University of Alicante) and 2016 (University of Quebec at Trois-Rivières), seeks both to contribute to this area of research publication and to bring together researchers, teachers, translation practitioners, and specialists to have the opportunity to interact with colleagues and to share their experience and research.

Hi Pieter,
I came across your conference overview some time ago this year, and have been checking it regularly since then. Its timeline design is very clear and useful. Just a small question – do you aim to set up something similar for 2019?
Pieter Beens
Hi Fabio, thank you for your message! In fact I am already working on it at https://www.vertaalt.nu/translation-conferences-2019. Stay tuned, because I will speed up with it in the upcoming weeks.
