The XXI FIT World Congress will be held in Brisbane, Australia in August 2017. For its  newest edition, the triennal flagship event will be hosted by AUSIT (Australian Institute of Interpreters and Translators). It was previously held in Shanghai (2008), San Francisco (2011) and Berlin (2014).

The broad theme is « Disruption and diversification » and will tackle the various technological challenges faced by language professionnels around the world.

Also, on a more personal note, I’m proud to say that I had the opportunity to translate the website into French. So, don’t hesitate to click on « Français » located on the Homepage.
