Using AI for Lead Generation

Learn how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can radically transform your translation or language service business. We will go beyond machine translation. By using large language models and intelligent agent systems, you can automate tasks, find new clients and improve the quality of your services.

In this presentation, you’ll learn how to approach three essential challenges:

  • ⁠  ⁠Identifying and attracting new leads by generating custom lists and messages 
  • ⁠  ⁠Automating administrative and project management tasks to save precious time—that you can spend on an extra coffee, and why not, learning a new language
  • ⁠  ⁠Improving the quality and consistency of translations by effective glossary and term base management

You’ll learn practical and readily available techniques, which will give you a competitive edge in a technology-dominated market. 

Don’t miss out on the opportunity to protect and grow your business. While you hesitate, your competition might already take advantage of these technologies to attract the clients you target. 

Let’s take the step towards the future of translation services together!

Creating a Creativity Practice – An Experiment

For the month of January 2025, I will commit to getting creative every single day. This means trying my hand at new and old things, redefining creativity and yes, probably failing miserably for your entertainment, as I will be documenting my creative shenanigans for the purposes of this presentation. 

The rules are simple: produce something every day – a drawing, a poem, a new dish, an essay, choreography, designs for an elaborate cat tree, a training video, a vocal warmup… Anything goes! As long as you can perceive or interact with it in any way. 

Now, I don’t know where this will lead. I don’t know if anything will come of it. I’m pretty sure most of my “products” will absolutely suck. But I am hoping that this experiment, this act of doing for the sake of doing, will create its own momentum and take shape. I shall present my findings and at least some of my results. Best case scenario is I inspire some of you to take on a more active approach to creativity. At the very least you’ll get a good chuckle.

AI Integration in Trados

This talk explores the changing landscape of AI and content creation, showing how linguists and technology can work together in harmony. As language experts, linguists play a crucial role in maintaining quality and cultural accuracy, while advanced tools like Trados help simplify processes and offer valuable insights.

Attendees will discover how Trados is evolving to empower linguists, making tasks like reviewing and translation smarter, faster, and more aligned with company-specific requirements.
