Program accomplishments
- Conference : ALTAs annual conference is the largest gathering of literary translators in the U.S., and the only one of its kind. It brings together between 400-500 translators, writers, and editors for an intimate, intense, three-day conversation through panels, workshops, roundtables, and bilingual readings. The ALTA conference is structured around the creation of high-quality art. Panels focus on important issues and trends in the field, while roundtables are structured to provide practical information to working translators, like funding and publication advice. Workshops deal with issues of craft, with participants working through solutions on the spot. Readings are performances in their own right, and many are held in partnership with local arts organizations, thus facilitating interaction with the local community, and engagement with diverse and excellent art.
