Course description

Trade fairs are a wonderful occasion for translators (and freelancers in general) as several potential customers all gather in the same place for a few days with the goal of doing business.

Although planning for and attending an industry event might seem scary, there are a few ways to make the process a lot easier and even enjoyable.

In this course, we'll learn how to choose the relevant industry events, decide what exhibitors are a good match and contact them. Also, we'll discuss how to tackle the actual day(s) and - last but not least - how to make sure our efforts don't get lost over time as follow-up is crucial.
