The event calendar kicks off on November 10, 2026, with an insightful workshop titled "Language professions in the age of AI" in Utrecht, Netherlands. This gathering aims to explore how artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the roles, tools, and methodologies in the translation industry. Following this, on November 12, Riga, Latvia, will host the session "Who needs translation? The many facets of the profession." This event is expected to highlight the diverse roles within the translation ecosystem and examine the increasing demand for multilingual solutions in various sectors.

Simultaneously, the Translating Europe Forum, set for November 11-13, 2026, in Brussels, Belgium, represents a cornerstone of these initiatives. It promises a multifaceted dialogue among stakeholders from across the European language services sector. According to the EU Translation Centre, these multilingual workshops provide a unique opportunity to engage with experts, gain insights, and explore emerging trends that are shaping the future of translation and language technologies.
