This is an excellent event to attend for several reasons: It is an international meeting of professionals who live all over the world. There are other big events where interpreters and translators from many countries get together, but most live in the United States, the United Kingdom, or another country in the Western Hemisphere; at the FIT World Congress most professionals attending the event will be coming from their respective countries, bringing along different perspectives, points of view, and first-hand information on the status of the profession somewhere different from the country where you live. This time this is especially relevant, because the conference, hosted at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in Geneva, will address how language professionals should face the advancement of artificial intelligence, and current events, to shape an intelligent future.
