Lenguas 2017 is an international forum for interpreters and translators that aims to bring professionals in these two fields together under one roof to discuss best practices, learn about the situation of the market today, and receive practical training.

The Italia Morayta Foundation has invited IntepretAmerica to design the program for the interpreting sector, and will invite different organizations to do the same in the field of translation.

The Forum will be held from September 28-30, 2017, in Mexico City.

Thursday September 28 will be dedicated to plenary sessions. On Friday 29 and Saturday 30 professional development and continuing education workshops will be held. The program will include social and cultural activities to offer participants opportunities not only for relaxation but also to network and share points of view.

The Lenguas 2017 Forum will also be the venue for presenting the Italia Morayta Award in four different categories:

• Italia Morayta Award for Conference Interpreters
• Italia Morayta Award for Translators
• Italia Morayta Award for Community Interpreters
• Italia Morayta Award for Best Research Project
