I have attended this conference from its inception; it is bigger and better every year, and it should be even better this time as they are celebrating their eleventh anniversary.  The conference is held at the Autonomous University of Hidalgo State’s Poliforum at Carlos Martínez Balmori Campus, and the guest country will be the Czech Republic. This event is a great opportunity for Spanish speaking interpreters and translators because of the many students who go to the conference from many Mexican colleges and universities. Most conferences are attended by professional colleagues with years of experience, but this “encuentro” is attended by bus loads of students of translation, interpreting, and other-language related fields. The conference will deal with the technological advancements in our profession and how we can face them, embrace them, and manage them. As always, it will take place within the International University Book Fair (FUL) and its organization by my friends Mireya Ocadiz (the conference), and Marco Antonio Alfaro (FUL) gives it a unique atmosphere. If you live in Mexico, or if you want to experience a conference in Mexico, while visiting beautiful Pachuca, I encourage you to attend this event.
