Episode 51: Tips and Tricks for Attending Hybrid Conferences, a Surprise Joint Episode with Speaking of Translation

 
 

Surprise! We're excited to bring you another joint episode of Smart Habits for Translators and Speaking of Translation.

Corinne McKay and Eve Bodeux, co-hosts of the legendary Speaking of Translation podcast, recently announced that after 13 years, they were pressing pause on their podcast. But don't worry! All of their past episodes are still there. We have already recorded two joint episodes with Eve and Corinne (Episodes 29 and 35), and we’re excited that they agreed to join us again to record this special episode!

In this fun conversation, we’ll be discussing a topic that many of us are faced with (yet again!) this fall as many of our favorite conferences are going virtual or hybrid. As much as we look forward to returning to fully in-person events, unfortunately, we’re not quite there yet because of the pandemic and travel restrictions. But hybrid conferences aren’t quite the same thing as an in-person event or a virtual event.

So, how can attendees and speakers prepare for hybrid conferences?

Listen in to hear our thoughts on:

  • What we think will be different when attending a hybrid conference vs. a fully in-person one or a fully virtual one

  • Which smart habits come in handy when preparing to attend a hybrid conference

  • What in-person and virtual attendees should keep in mind when attending a hybrid conference

  • What speakers should be mindful of when they present in a hybrid format

  • What factors we personally take into consideration when planning which conferences to attend next year
