The AUSIT Biennial Conference is one of the most outstanding professional events in the Australian interpreting and translating community. It attracts hundreds of translators and interpreters from various walks of life: linguists, academics, agency owners and project managers, trainers and other industry players from all over Australia, for two busy days of sharing knowledge, networking and professional development.
Jill Blewett Memorial Lectures
AUSIT conferences are usually followed by the yearly National Annual General Meetings, and coinciding with the yearly AGM, AUSIT invites a distinguished guest speaker to deliver the Jill Blewett Memorial Lecture in the AGM host city.
As well as being a tribute to the late Jill Blewett and her contribution to the development of translating and interpreting in Australia, this prestigious event provides members and the wider public with an opportunity to reflect on the state of translation and interpreting in Australia. An archive of the lectures is available here.
