The landscape of translation and interpreting (T&I) is undergoing rapid transformation. Notably spurred on by the development and infiltration of GenerativeAI, which continues to dominate debates several years after its emergence, disruptive technologies underlie these changes to professional practice, academic inquiry, and T&I training contexts, as we seek to grapple with the pedagogical challenges and opportunities that these developments bring about. However, having long dealt with waves of disruption, particularly in relation to automation, T&I educators, researchers, and professionals are perhaps uniquely positioned to lead the conversation on what comes next.

This conference provides a space to reflect on the ways in which our professional and academic roles, practices, and training contexts have changed in recent years, to take stock of the present situation, and to consider the aforementioned challenges and opportunities for T&I research, practice, and education. In doing so, it aims to foster dialogue, share innovative teaching and learning practices, and build a collaborative vision for the future of the field.

We invite proposals for papers, workshops, book launches, and flash talks from students (BA/BSc, MA/MSc, or PhD) that explore the evolving role of T&I practice, education, and research in response to technological disruption and current industry change more generally.
