XVIII FIT World Congress
4–7 August, 2008
Shanghai, China
Translation, as the bridge between different nations, peoples and cultures, has played an indispensable role in the development of the human civilization. In today’s world where globalization and cultural diversity go hand in hand, it’s no exaggeration to say that the world couldn’t do without translation for even a single day.
The World Congress of the International Federation of Translators (FIT), a top-notch event in the global translation community, traditionally attracts some 600~700 professional translators, interpreters, linguists, terminologists and educators as well as leading players in the industry from around the world to engage in professional exchange, global networking and business pursuits.
The XVIII FIT World Congress, to be hosted by Translators Association of China (TAC), will be the first time that this Congress is ever held in an Asian country. It will be staged at the Shanghai International Convention Center, a modern five-star hotel just next to the landmark of Shanghai – the Oriental Pearl TV Tower on the bank of the beautiful Huangpu River.
LISA members are eligible for a discount on exhibition packages at the FIT World Conference.
