PROJECT Osaka

A message I just received that might be of interest to you all.

Just wanted to let any translators or translator-wannabes know that there is an informative and friendly conference going on in Osaka on November 28th. This one is particularly geared for those just getting started in the translation world, and you don't have to be a translator to attend. There are various sessions going on all day long - some in Japanese, some in English.

Some details.

Admission: Students: 4000 Yen, JAT Members: 5000 Yen,

PROJECT Osaka is a one-day conference on translation organized by the Japan Association of Translators (日本翻訳者協会) for experienced translators to share knowledge about the profession of translation with aspiring translators or those at the beginning stages of their careers.

PROJECT Osaka is the second in a series of one-day events for translators, following upon a successful PROJECT Tokyo held on Nov. 22, 2008, which attracted a full-capacity 250 participants.

The PROJECT Osaka theme is “Starting Out and Moving Up” and the format consists of mostly panel sessions with several speakers and a moderator who welcomes questions and comments from the audience.
