We are delighted that Chris Durban, one of the translation industry’s leading experts on business strategy, has accepted our invitation to give a presentation and workshop to LRG members.
To state the obvious: the translation industry is in flux. With AI and other factors reshaping markets, many practitioners are struggling to adapt. Standard T&I business advice—all those hot tips and tricks—often falls short, leaving even the most vocal advocates scrambling for answers. Amidst the turmoil, how can skilled translators build a sustainable, thriving future?
Chris Durban is a voice backed by experience. She has worked closely with high-level clients, spoken at length with peers around Europe, and tracked industry trends, taking ample notes along the way. In this evolving presentation, she will share fresh insights and practical strategies to help professional translators navigate these changes more easily.
If you are serious about your translation career and ready to do the work, this session will be of great interest.
On the agenda:
- Redefining your value and positioning—beyond just “finding clients”
- Increasing your impact and income—without chasing productivity at all costs
- Adapting to market shifts while avoiding generic marketing fluff
- Developing creative, sustainable growth strategies
