Between October 2013 and Spring 2014, the IJET-25 Organizing Committee is traveling around Japan putting on a series of pre-events. The third event will take place in Sendai on Saturday, February 8th, 2014.
The pre-events will take the form of a seminar followed by a networking dinner. JAT members and non-members, veteran translators/interpreters 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.
