The event will be conducted via Zoom\, so you can tune in from the comfort of your home. \nFull and Assocaiate members can now pay in instalments. \nIf you would like to pay in instalments please visit our conference page: Pay in instalments and select your membership. Once your first payment has been received you will then be added to the event attendee list and forwarded your ticket. \nFull programme will be on here soon – we are just finalising the content with our exciting line-up of presenters! \nThe structure will consist of an opening panel session. Attendees will have the choice of two streams\, Terptopia or Terpageddon? There will be three presentations in each stream and attendees can swap between them. The recordings of both streams will be sent out to you afterwards so you will not miss out. Recordings will be available to attendees for six months – they will not be available on the website or to non-attendees. \nProgramme\nOpening Panel\nChaired by Andy Carmichael\, our current chair\, the panel will look at how interpreter and translator training and everyday work has changed.\nThe panel will be made up of Kitty Taylor-Brown\, Sandra Pratt\, Carolyn Denmark and Trudy Field. \nStream One – Terptopia \n\nRobert Adam and Sandra Schügerl are looking at Deaf Interpreters and Translators and their role in the profession – Title TBC\nMembers of our Equality and Diversity working group will be talking about the protected characteristics and how discrimination can occur. They will raise awareness of subconscious discrimination and what positive action we should all be taking to make ASLI and the wider interpreting community a more equal and fair place to work.\nIs there a silver lining?\n\nChristopher Stone (BSL) and Anna Michaels (spoken English)\n\nAs we all know these are definitely times of change\, and although our work is always changing this time it seems more significant. Even so it’s worth bearing in mind that best practices are not set in stone\, nor even formed in the minds of either those using the interpreting provision or those organising it. They are formed from moments of “oh that worked!”\, and “there has to be a better way”.\n\nIn this session we will be having a conversation around changes that seem to be afoot and how we as professionals can begin to adapt and change in ways that benefit both us\, interpreters\, and our stakeholders\, service users and organisers.\n\nWe will be looking at questions such as:\n\n\nIs this a tipping point?\nWhat are some potential positive outcomes and changes that can come?\nHow might interpreters organise and structure their thinking differently?\n\nOur goal is to have an interactive conversation so please do contribute to the discussion\, as we explore this brave new world in search interpretopia. \nStream 2 – Terpageddon \n\nBrett Best and Rachel Wilkins present Toward Terptopia: Fostering a Supportive Industry and Eradicating Horizontal Violence.\nSam Riddle (NUBSLI) and Marcus (NRCPD) will be discussing working conditions for communication professionals and working together for change. Title TBC\nDamaris Cooke – (Royal Association for Deaf people\, RAD) – Title TBC\n\n\nClosing Panel: Our final event will be looking at ‘Women interpreting in high profile roles’.
