A hybrid event means some attendees are present in person, while other attendees follow a live stream online.  Good hybrid events also offer online networking opportunities for remote attendees.

BP22 was our first hybrid event, and we plan to carry on with this format in the future.  At BP23 Translaiton Conference, we’ll implement some improvements over BP22, to make the remote experience even better and more engaging.

With a remote attendance ticket, you will:

• have access to all session live
• have access to all recordings
• can participate in polls and other interactive features live
• ask questions live from the speakers
• have access to a list of all attendees
• chat with other attendees during the sessions and throughout the event

In case you have to cancel your in-person attendance in the last minute, you can still attend the event remotely.

More detailed information will be available before tickets go on sale in January. 

In some cases you’ll need to pay a 21% Dutch VAT on top of the conference ticket, while in some cases you don’t. 

• You’ll need to a pay a 21% VAT if you purchase your ticket as a private individual, no matter where you are based
• You’ll need to pay a 21% VAT if you’re based in the Netherlands, whether you purchase your ticket as a company or as an individual. (As a company, you’ll be able to claim back the VAT amount in your tax return.)
• You will not need to pay a 21% VAT if you purchase your ticket as a company registered in an EU member state other than the Netherlands. In this case you’ll need to provide your valid VAT number.
• If you’re based outside the EU and you purchase your ticket as a company, you’re also eligible to VAT-free purchase. (This information will be clarified after a thorough check with the relevant Dutch VAT regulations.)

While the company organizing BP Translation Conferences is registered in Hungary, for VAT purposes we’ll need to charge the local VAT of the country where the physical event will take place.  All invoices will be issued with out Dutch VAT number. (To be obtained later in 2022.)

BP Translation Conferences are very friendly affairs, but a bunch of like-minded individuals from around the world.  Even if you’re new to our events, you may know some people already from online platforms or social media.

We’ll have special networking games on site to make it easier to get in touch with other attendees and to make meaningful connections with them.

Vegan, leactose-free, and/or gluten-free options will be available at all venues.

In fact, BP translation conferences have offered these options since our very first event (BP14).

About 3 weeks before the event you’ll receive a survey to indicate your diet choice.

All attendees (on-site and remote) will receive a certificate of attendance.   

ATA usually accepts the conference for 10 CE points — the confirmation will arrive some time in February.

If you live in France, you may need a special form to be filled in so that your attendance can be accepted by continuous education insitutions — we’re happy to sign this for you.

ATA decided to make their certification exams available online, so there’s no need (and probably no demand) for on-site exams.

If you need a visa for the Netherlands (and the Schengen zone), BP Translation Conference, as the organizer of the event, will send you an invitation letter.

You will need to apply for a visa at the Dutch embassy or consulate operating in your country.

We have no influence on the decision of the Dutch authorities.

If you cannot attend the conference in person because your visa is denied, you’ll receive a full refund (until 25 April).
