Four reasons why you should join the EAMT

1. Conferences and Workshops

Every two years, the IAMT organizes the MT Summit, a unique conference dedicated to the world of translation technology which alternates between Europe, the Americas, and Asia/Pacific. In 1997, the MT Summit was held in San Diego, USA, in 1999, it was held in Singapore, in 2001, in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, in 2003, in New Orleans, USA, in 2005 in Phuket, Thailand, in 2007 in Copenhagen, Denmark. In 2009 it will be in the Americas, the venue yet to be decided.

In years when the Summit is not being held in Europe, the EAMT organises an annual workshop or a conference on some facet of MT, sometimes in conjunction with another event. EAMT members can attend EAMT- and IAMT-sponsored events at reduced rates.

Please visit the Events section here for more information on the above.

2. Expertise and networking

The EAMT is an excellent way to learn more about the practical aspects of MT. MT is still an imperfect technology and its members have a lot of collective wisdom to share about the use of MT in working environments. Through the EAMT, you may be able to reach people who have "been there before."

3. Publications

The IAMT regularly produces publications which are available to members at reduced rates, including conference proceedings. A compendium of MT systems has been produced and is updated twice a year.

4. Bibliographic service

The EAMT offers a bibliographic service to its members. For a nominal amount, members can order photocopies of articles on MT from a wide range of publications in the EAMT archives.
