The annual NETA conference is the highlight of our programming season. It offers a full day of presentations for translators, interpreters, language students, and anyone interested in translation and interpreting. Volunteering for the conference is an excellent way to go behind the scenes, meet the experts and get involved in our language community!
Every year, we count on UMass student volunteers to help make things go smoothly throughout the day, and this year we are offering UMass students the opportunity to win one of two NETA memberships! For each hour that a student volunteers, your name will be entered in the raffle to win a one-year New England Translators Association membership. Being a part of the NETA organization will connect you to the T&I world beyond school, as well as help to get your name out there!
The benefits include:
What we are looking for:
We need volunteer monitors for the virtual presentation sessions and writers to write an article or short summary of the presentations for the summer newsletter.
Volunteer with us on Saturday, April 29th, to have some fun behind the scenes while helping to make our 27th annual conference a success. Simply click on the link and sign up for your session(s) of choice: https://signup.com/go/RJKZDyt

The New England Translators Association (NETA) will be holding its annual conference online on April 29th, 2023.
The NETA Academic Division, in collaboration with the University of Massachusetts Boston, welcomes panels and presentations proposed and organized by professors or students. We will also review professor panel discussions and roundtables.
This is an invaluable opportunity for translation and interpreting trainers to share their expertise and together advance the field of translation studies. It is also a chance for students interested in translation and interpreting studies to present their work, talk with working translators and interpreters, and explore the profession.
Submission deadline: March 17, 2023
