Listen in 50+ languages as we use AI translation technology
We are delighted to be among the first in the cultural sector to use new AI translation technology for our Congresses. We are working alongside our technology partner, Wordly, to extend our capabilities and offer real time translation into 50+ languages for the online hub sessions, which should allow a much wider participation, whatever your first language.
Please spread the word - free online Congress places for 300 colleagues in priority regions (Band 2 - 4 countries only)

We are very keen to make the most of this funding, and ensure that the barriers to attendance are as low as possible, helping us to build a more representative profession for the future. Please do pass this on across your networks or to individual colleagues who could benefit.
