IJET-25 Pre-event in Nagoya
Between October 2013 and Spring 2014, the IJET-25 Organizing Committee will be traveling around Japan to put on a series of pre-events, the first of which will take place in Nagoya on Saturday, October 5th.
The pre-events will take the form of a seminar followed by a networking dinner. JAT members and non-members, veteran translators and those just starting out are all welcome to join in the seminar and the networking dinner. Participation in one but not the other is also welcome.
We hope the pre-events will provide those living in areas other than Tokyo with a chance to learn more about translation and to meet and network with colleagues.

Program:
Session 1: Tools for Translators
Speaker: Akira Takahashi (JAT member, IJET-25 Organizing Committee member)
What comes to mind when you hear “tools for translators”? Are you making effective use of the tools available to you?
Akira Takahashi, otherwise known as “Boshiya-san”, will discuss ways to ensure you remain firmly in the driving seat, without letting tools anywhere near the steering wheel.
Session 2: Panel Discussion: The Translation Industry in the Chukyo Region
Panelists: Jeff Chapman, Stuart Ayre, Tomoyo Ikeda, Kanna Nakazawa
During this panel discussion, a number of Nagoya-based translators will discuss issues peculiar to the region and answer the burning question: “is Toyota the main source of work for Chukyo-based translators?” The discussion will cover changes in the market in recent years and the future outlook for the region. We would like to encourage Chukyo-based translators to join the discussion, exchange information, share any survival strategies, and consider the future of Chukyo as a place for translators to live and work!
