| Description | Right after Lenguas concludes in Mexico City, Darinka Mangino and Maha El-Metwally will be offering the extended face-to-face version of their successful webinar Preparation 2.0. There is a general understanding among practitioners that preparation is related to higher quality and job satisfaction. The amount of conference material and time available is a key factor affecting the preparation process. Preparing for some assignments could be described as a paradox. Interpreters might be given all the material needed for thorough preparation, though they might receive it very close to the time of the conference. In other cases, interpreters are given sufficient time to prepare but receive very few details on their assignment. At the same time, several international organizations are moving towards a paperless environment. As such, trainee and practicing conference interpreters need to learn how to prepare for meetings in such an environment. We will look at examples of paperless portals and explore apps you can use to annotate documents or organize your glossary. Another reason for paperless preparation is that interpreters spend a good part of the year on the go. We will look at apps and gadgets that can contribute to making your life easier and more organized. The primary objective of this course is to provide interpreters with a preparation method and IT tools that allow them to most effectively use their time and the material available when preparing for a conference assignment. The main course components are:
