Launched in 2014 as part of the Translating Europe project, the Translating Europe Forum (or TEF for short), has been serving as a meeting platform for diverse stakeholders across the colourful landscape of the language industry. Some 500 representatives of language service providers, professional associations, freelancers, academia and students, language technology companies, translation services of various European, national and international organisations meet every autumn in Brussels to discuss the most burning topics and issues, and to work together on ensuring a future-proof thriving sector for all the parties involved. A safe place for exchanging good practices and developing common projects, TEF promotes a diversified and sustainable market for professional translators in Europe and beyond.
Since 2022 the event has been organised to accommodate wide an online audience as well, and with almost 2000 online participants, the Forum has become one of the largest language industry events in Europe, firmly placed on the map of conferences not to miss. To achieve a relevant, high-quality programme and select extraordinary speakers, we work closely with the LIND expert group and the EMT Board, our external consulting bodies consisting of leading European professionals in the field of translation.
This year the forum will take place on 6-8 November 2024, in Brussels and online.
