STEP 1.   PRE-REGISTER FOR THE EVENT

Necessary to receive access details by email


Why is this necessary?

Pre-registration is necessary to make sure you receive all access details to the online conference sessions without making these details public. 

This is an additional safety filter, and it’s usually recommended, especially for free events.

How do I join the sessions?

You will receive an email a few hours before the eent starts with the Zoom IDs and passwords necessary to join the sessions.  We plan to send out email 4-5 hours in advance, i.e. around 20:00 CET on 29 September.

Please check your promotion/spam folder as well.

What if I register late?

If you register after the event starts, you will still receive the necessary access info, but with a little delay — that’s why it’s a good idea to register in advance.

What happens to my data?

We need your name and email address to send you the necessary access details before the event starts.  These are stored on CognitoForm’s secure servers, and only the BPconf admin has access to these.

You will be added to our BPconf mailing list as well. Don’t worry, we’ll never spam you, and never give out any emails to anyone. You can unsubscribe any time if you like. Here is our Privacy Policy as part of our Terms and Conditions.

What about the map?

Soon we will publish a map showing where all the attendees come from.  This will be a very international event, and an attendee map is a powerful tool to show the strength of our community.

All details are optional, so if you don’t want to be featured on the map, don’t provide any details. Your name and brandname/tagline will be visible as text when someone opens a pin on the map.  The address details will not be shown; they are only used to tell the map engine where to put the pin. If you don’t want to reveal your exact location, leave out the street: the city/country/zip code combo will give your approximate location.

The map will be first published on 23 September, and will be refreshed about once a day.

Can I invite guests?

Of course! While the event is geared to translators, you can invite anyone — but they’ll need to register as well.

We reserve the right to refuse anyone (i.e. they will not receive access details) if something looks fishy.

 

Translation Day’s Special ‘Big Party’

St Jerome translated the Bible without a TM, a dictionary, or even a proper PO. The client’s instructions were unclear, the working conditions were not ideal.

We translate manuals, mobile apps, corporate reports, clinical trials, taglines, legal proceedings, fiction, subtitles, and much more.

Let’s take a break to celebrate what connects all of us: the love of our profession, the belief that we do our small share in bridging cultural gaps around the world.

We are an open-minded international community of translators, so let’s come together to share our stories.

 

30 September, 30 hours

One continuous online conference lasting for 30 hours to allow everyone from around the world to join in.  Translators, interpreters, LSPs, students, and many more are welcome.

We’ll start at 0:00, Central European Time, on 30 September, and finish 30 hours later, when the Translation Day ends in New York.

We’ll fill this time with short presentations and lively discussions in one room, and with informal video chat on various subjects in another.

If you have some valuable experience or a good story to share with a worldwide audience, this is your place.

 

 

A series of 10-minute presentations

The online event will consist of a series of 2-hour blocks.  In each block we’ll have 5 short presentations, 10 minutes each, followed by 10 minutes of Q&A and/or a short discussion.

The last 20 minutes in each 2-hour block will be used to catch up with the schedule for the next 2-hour block.

Below you can find a form where you can apply to be a presenter.

 

Multilingual event

The idea is to dedicate at least one full track to languages other than English – possibly several parallel tracks in the busiest periods.

Each 2-hour block in the non-English track will be in a particular language.  In such 2-hour blocks we’ll have three or four short (10-minute) presentations, followed by 10 minutes of Q&A or a discussion.  The remaining 60 or 40 minutes can be spent with an informal video chat in the given language.

 

Anyone can join for free

The event will take place on the Zoom platform, and it’s totally free for everyone.  You’ll need to download the Zoom ‘client’ from Zoom.us, and you’ll need to log in to Zoom with your name and email. 

Disclaimer:  You’ll be added to our mailing list to be informed of our future events. You can unsubscribe any time, of course — but we promise we won’t flood you with emails.

 

 

Spread the word

The best way to spread the word about this extraordinary online event is to mark yourself ‘Going’ to our Facebook event, and invite your colleagues as well.

This is our Facebook page, our LinkedIn page, and our LinkedIn event. We’re also on Twitter.

We’re not funded by any organization, so we rely on word of mouth — your help is much appreciated.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is BP anyway?

The event is organized by BP Translation Conferences. ‘BP’ stands for ‘Business & Practice’, the two overall themes of our conferences.  We started out in 2014 with BP14, and by 2019 our annual BP Translation Conferences have become probably the most popular annual CPD events for freelance translators in Europe.

Earlier this year we successfully transformed BP20 into an online event in just 5 weeks — making us the pioneer in online events for translators.

I'd like to be a speaker

Please complete the form above.

While BP Translation Conferences focus on Business & Practice of freelance translation, here we can be more flexible.

Other subjects are also welcome, e.g. in linguistics, MT, business aspects of LSPs, you name it.

To get an idea of the subjects at previous BP Translation Conferences, check out the bottom of the Videos page.  Whatever subject you’d like to present, make it appealing a wide international audience (e.g. avoid too narrowly defined subjects).

Selected speakers will receive access to BP Video Library and will also get a 30€ discount at any of our future events.

Tips for speakers

You’ll have 10 minutes to present your short talk.  Please limit your slides to a maximum of 8, while aiming at 6. (You can also present without slides.)

If you have some special expertise or a good story to share with your peers, please do apply as a speaker.  Don’t try to cram too much into this short amount of time.  You’ll have another 10 minutes to reply to a couple of questions, or use this time for an open discussion.

Please submit your proposal by 20 September.   Selected speakers will be notified by email, and will receive some additional guidance.

What are the responsibilities of a host?

It’s much easier to be a host at a Zoom meeting than you may first think.

Each 2-hour block will have a designated host, and any individual may be a host at more than one such block.

If you volunteer to be a host, please complete the form above.

We’ll need to associate your Zoom account with ours. To avoid any inconvenience, the safest bet is if you don’t have a paid plan.  To associate your Zoom account with BP’s, you’ll receive an automated email from Zoom, and you’ll have to accept the fact that your account is linked to ours temporarily (for the duration of this online event).

After this we’ll need to assign you to a particular Zoom meeting as a host. This means you’ll have the right to open or close a meeting, mute any attendee, monitor the questions, etc.

No special requirement to join as a host, but preference is given to people who have attendeed at least 1 BP Translation Conference.

Selected hosts will receive access to BP Video Library, and will also get a 30€ discount at any future BP event.

Selected hosts will also receive more detailed guidance before the event.

How can I join the event?

The online event will take place on Zoom. The schedule will be published on this page, with each block / track / presentation clearly indicated. You’ll be able to click on a button to open the Zoom meeting.

You’ll need to download and install the Zoom client in advance from Zoom.us, and you’ll be required to log in to Zoom, and answer a few simple questions.

Non-English track

We’ll have at least one entire track dedicated to presentations and discussions in languages other than English. Each track consists of 15 x 2-hour blocks, and each such block will be in a particular language.

Certain languages in large demand may be allocated 2 or 3 blocks. Also, if there’s sufficient demand, we can have several parallel tracks or blocks in certain periods of time.

We’ll set up a block for any particular language if there’s sufficient demand, i.e. at least 3 meaningful presentations, and at least 100 attendees can be expected.

If you’d like to have a block in your language, complete the form above. Also, spread the word in your community by sharing the Facebook event, or by inviting your colleagues to this page or our social media pages (see above).

 

Are Zoom meetings safe?

Yes. Back in March when the lockdown started and Zoom started to be ubiquitous, Zoom focussed on eliminating any bugs and safety leaks.

All attendees will be required to have a Zoom account and will need to log in — this step already prevents any malevolent parties from entering.

Also, all attendees will be required to accept our Code of Conduct. In case of any violation, you’ll be able to send a private message to the host, and she’ll be able to block any unwanted people.

Some tips for speakers

You’ll have 10 minutes to present your short talk.  Please limit your slides to a maximum of 8, while aiming at 6. (You can also present without slides.)

If you have some special expertise or a good story to share with your peers, please do apply as a speaker.  Don’t try to cram too much into this short amount of time.  You’ll have another 10 minutes to reply to a couple of questions, or use this time for an open discussion.

12:00  (G1) Alice Bertinotti (Turin, IT):  A remote interpreter’s checklist

12:25  (G2) Chiara Vecchi (Spilamberto, IT):  Applying successfully to translation agencies

14:00  (H1) Martina Abagnale (Amsterdam, NL):  The importance of a squad when you’re starting out

Starting out is always difficult, but when you’re all alone, it can feel impossible. Freelance translators might not have traditional colleagues, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t need support. Here’s how I built my support squad when I started out.

14:25  (H2) Gabriela Kouahla (Guelma, DZ):  Localize your services according to culture

14:50  (H3) Sue Leschen (Manchester, UK):  Working from home — does it really work?

Working from home (WFH) is the new normal and it is here to stay! Some of us are used to working from home but some of us aren’t or not in these circumstances where family members are now also at home – all potential concentration zappers. Productivity may be up or down. How is WFH for you?

15:15  (H4) Moira Monney (Gütersloh, DE): Pricing during the pandemic

Should your pricing strategy change during the pandemic? Have your clients asked you to reduce your rates due to Covid-19? We’ll discuss whether or not this is a good idea, and what to pay attention to when setting your rates during these unprecedented times.
