The Organizing Committee is also accepting proposals for presentations and looking for participants/organizers of panel discussions at IJET-17. We invite proposals dealing with all aspects of Japanese/English translation, including topics of interest to both beginning translators and experienced translators, and topics related to the business of translation. The following types of proposals are encouraged: 1) proposals focusing on a specific field, such as translation of chemistry or literature, 2) proposals on general topics, such as translation resources or professional development for translators, or 3) proposals concerning specific types of documents, such as patents or contracts. Presentations and panel discussions may be conducted in Japanese, English, or both.
The Organizing Committee is also planning several presentations focusing on lifestyle-related topics concerning translators/interpreters. These include topics such as balancing parenting with translating, and a panel discussion on how freelance and self-employed translators balance their work and private life.
