And I'm thinking about other events (at least a couple) before December; it will depend on my schedule and budget.

And there were a couple more that I couldn't attend due to my schedule.

I know the next events will have a lot of buzz related to AI because it's a way to stay updated about what's going on in the local translation industry. ▲ Collapse
