This event is a cornerstone for those passionate about the evolving world of language, bringing together diverse voices to explore fresh, cutting-edge themes and topics that shape the future of linguistics and the language industry. #LCConf25 #IMLD25
Each year, we introduce a range of new themes that reflect the most pressing issues and advancements in the language sector. While previous conferences have covered significant subjects such as the revitalisation of rare languages, AI and the Future of Linguists, multilingual education, and the psychological impact of losing mother languages, each year brings a fresh programme designed to inspire, inform, and engage our attendees. We remain committed to showcasing innovative approaches and the latest developments, ensuring the event stays dynamic, relevant, and thought-provoking.
Our conference also serves as a valuable platform for Continuing Professional Development (CPD), offering sessions that focus on practical skills and knowledge for linguists, interpreters, and translators. In past years, we’ve covered essential topics like interpreter best practices, mental health for language professionals, and managing secondary trauma. These important discussions contribute to the professional growth of our attendees and the enhancement of language services worldwide.
In line with the UNESCO theme we also adopt and highlight the annual theme set by UNESCO for International Mother Language Day, ensuring our event aligns with global discussions on linguistic diversity and preservation.
