There is another conference in the pipeline which is meant for proofreaders and editors. However, since most professional translators perform proofreading and editing, the conference would be helpful to them as well. The event in question is the annual conference of The Society for Editors and Proofreaders which is going to be held from the 13th to 15th September 2009 at Vanbrugh College, University of York.
The conference would include seminars, presentations and lectures around the topic - ‘Editing in the 21st Century’. A wide number of issues would be covered including on-screen editing, copywriting techniques, grammar, information and advice about useful software like Adobe InDesign and tips to help make a smooth transition to Microsoft Word 2007.
Some of the seminars would be dealing with issues related to freelancers, marketing oneself, advantages of blogging, relaxation techniques and work-life balance. Overall the conference promises to be highly informative; you can check out The Society for Editors and Proofreaders’ website for more details.
