Seems like someone from PR should attend, but the core of us are battling deadlines right now - and I have a feeling the deadlines will win.

Just curious: How many of our contributors or readers have attended translation seminars such as FIT (Federation of International Translators), ALTA (American Literary Translators' Association), etc? If so, have you found them helpful?

I've never been. But I wish I'd known about this one earlier - if I had I would have found a way to go.
