I am very pleased to announce that I will be participating as a presenter at this year's ProZ.com International Conference in Porto from June 8 to 9, 2013. This year's theme is "New Demands on the Translation Industry" and many great presenters are already lined up (Mox is coming!). Follow the jump to learn more about the conference and registration and to read more about my presentation. I will sure to have something snazzy for you with lots of take-away resources as always.
And, for those of you on the fence about registering, did I forget to mention Saturday night's Gala Dinner at the Burmester Cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia.
The Next Wave: Understanding How IT Developments Are Changing the Future of Medical Translation
Demand is exploding in the field of medical translation with
the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device sectors representing the
second-largest market share in the industry. Despite fast-growing demand and
higher volumes of translation services in both traditional and emerging
markets, the life sciences vertical is set to face new challenges in an
expanding geographic environment that has become increasingly regulated and
quality-driven. We will take a closer look at the trends currently driving the
medical translation industry, including the recent push towards multilingual
harmonization through controlled language and the implementation of common
technological applications. Recent changes in the regulatory environment,
transitions to e-documentation, and new approaches to terminology management as
determinants of quality and consistency will also be explored.
