Description:

The goal of this session is to clearly define the role of the project manager, explaining their daily activities and responsibilities. Based on a clear definition of this person's role in executing translation projects, the presenter will offer suggestions on how translators can become an strategic ally of the project managers they work with, and ultimately receive more volume and more professionally satisfying work from translation agencies.

The intended audience for this presentation includes:

1. translators looking to grow their translation business, by targeting translation agencies as key clients they will serve.
2. language industry professionals who aspire to work as project managers.
3. translation company owners or directors who are interested in seeing the project manager's profile as presented by another language company owner.

This session will be followed by a LIVE Q&A session on this page with the presenter. Attendees are also able to submit questions ahead of time at the top of this page.
