Speed Networking: From Class to Career

What Speed Networking:

Speed Networking is an opportunity designed to connect emerging interpreters with experienced interpreters from across the field. We will start off with a panel discussion followed by small group discussions. Experienced interpreters will rotate through brief, timed conversations— similar to speed dating—giving emerging interpreters the chance to ask questions, hear real world experiences, and build connections in a supportive, low- pressure environment.

Who is this event for: 
Current ITP students, recent ITP graduates (within the last two years), and interpreters with less than two years of experience.

When: 
Aug 1, 2026
10am - 12:15pm EST

Where: 
Zoom
