Since I am Translating the Globe, here’s a list of conferences and other events for language lovers – on translation, editing, literature and linguistics (and sometimes other fields that interest me). I will update this calendar regularly, so check back every once in a while to see what’s going on across the globe.

Information on this page will be in English, and events with an open call for papers are marked √. Events of general interest are marked ♥.

Given the nature of my blog, I will focus on events and conferences around the world, but will also include important events here in Israel. For a comprehensive list of cultural, literary, language and translation events to be held in Israel in the coming month, visit Edna Abramson’s outstanding events calendar at Literary Republic (in Hebrew).

It goes without saying that I can’t possible stay on top of everything worldwide. So, if you’ve heard of an interesting and relevant event, or if you want me to add your conference or event, please contact me and let me know.
