MATI Special Event: How to survive COVID-19 and get ready for what’s next

SPECIAL EVENT - FREE TO MATI MEMBERS/$10 Non-Members

Interpreters and translators are living in unprecedented times. As the world comes to a full stop and we face an uncertain future, there are things we can do to reduce our professional risk, survive the crisis, and hit the ground running once our lives go back to normal. This is a good opportunity for MATI members to come together to a forum that looks like them and speaks to them.

Tony, a freelancer like you, will discuss some of the things we can do during social distancing in this webinar among colleagues, organized by translators and interpreters like you, not multinational language service business. Please join us and see ways to keep your clients during the crisis, recover some of the expenses you had, try to get paid for the events cancelled due to the pandemic, and protect yourself from those who want to see you as the cure to all these problems, or want you to work for rock bottom fees. Let’s learn together and exchange ideas!
