The 13th Annual ATA-TCD Conference: "A Recipe for Business Growth – 10 Ingredients" will be held in Orlando, Florida, on Friday, January 25 - Sunday, January 27, 2013.

The 13th Annual ATA-TCD Conference is for entrepreneurs. Whether you are a translation company owner, manager, or freelancer, if you are interested in business growth, learning, and meeting like-minded colleagues, this IS the conference for you!

In a friendly and relaxed environment, a wealth of experience and expertise will be shared among translation company owners, managers, and freelancers. There will be a two-track program design. This approach proved highly successful and popular among attendees in 2011 because it addressed the concerns for all sizes and stages of business growth. There will be something here for you!

Growing from a freelance translator into the owner of a translation company is an amazing journey. Many ATA members share or have realized that dream of growing their own company. This common vision - plus our fundamental interdependence - should bring greater understanding and cooperation between the two facets of our industry: individual linguists and translation or interpreting companies.

Because the ATA'S Translation Company Division encompasses both sides of this divide, the TCD's position is one of fostering optimal teaching, learning, and sharing between individuals and for emerging companies to improve business practices, learn new technologies, and to foster communication.

You may join and participate in the ATA-TCD community online and during and annual division conference to help grow your businesses and strengthen the language services industry as a whole.
