I’m writing to request your assistance in sharing information with your interpreters about the upcoming 2024 Interpreting for Deaf Professionals Summit that we are hosting on September 13-14, 2024.

This summit will be an action-packed virtual summit where interpreters can earn up to .95 CEUs. Sessions will range from interactive presentations to armchair discussions that are designed to help interpreters consider what has worked—and what hasn’t—for Deaf, hard of hearing, and DeafBlind professionals in a variety of sectors and to optimize the delivery of interpreting services to these professionals.

The summit agenda and additional pertinent information is listed at www.2axend.com/IDPSummit.

Many thanks in advance for your assistance!

All the best,
Corey

Join us on Wednesday, May 29th from 6-9pm ET and earn 0.3 PS CEUs through our CEC Webinar “Depiction, What is It?”

Have you ever been told to show more and tell less? Or that your use of space is amazing? Or has anyone asked you what “discourse mapping” is? Are there differences between a classifier and an depicting verb? All these questions are related to depiction. Depiction in linguistics is a cognitive phenomena that has observable manifestations that surround the body. However, the term depiction has an unspecialized colloquial definition in the field of interpreting that can lead to an oversimplified thinking about it and its cognitive underpinnings.

Note: This webinar will be recorded for asynchronous viewing if you can’t make the live event.
