I know that I’ve mentioned the fact that Rochester is hosting this year’s American Literary Translators Association conference before, but now that the dates are creeping up on us (October 3 is only 16 days away), it’s time to really start promoting this and filling you in on all of the insanely awesome activities. <\/p>\n

Over the next 16 days, I’ll highlight different events and speakers, and hopefully post excerpts from the ALTA<\/span> Fellows and some bilingual readers. <\/p>\n

I’ll also share the hyphellipses tattoo<\/a> that some of us are planning on getting during the conference. (And if you’re not into this particular tattoo, you should still consider coming along to ink yourself in some way. Translators who tattoo together, stay together. Or something.)<\/p>\n

For now though, I think it’s enough to share the final version of the ALTA<\/span> 2012 program, which may well be the most beautiful ALTA<\/span> program in history. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Click here<\/txp_file_download_link> to download a PDF<\/span> version complete with listings and descriptions of all the events, bios of participants, and ads from some of the sponsors. <\/p>\n

Now that you’ve had a chance to see the awesomeness that is ALTA<\/span> 2012, here are all the special details:<\/p>\n

The ALTA<\/span> website<\/a> has information about registering,<\/a> about the official hotel,<\/a> and about keynote speaker, David Bellos.<\/a><\/p>\n

One note: Although the Radisson is the official hotel, basically ALL<\/span> of the events are taking place at the Memorial Art Gallery,<\/a> which is ten hundred trillion times more beautiful than the Radisson. (Sorry, Radisson, but we all know it’s true.)<\/p>\n

OK, starting later this week, I’ll start previewing various aspects of the conference. In the meantime, you can email me (chad.post [at] rochester.edu) if you have questions, comments, or want additional information. It looks like there will be a number of media outlets covering this, and if you are a reporter or blogger or book lover and would like to talk with any of the participants about their particular panel, just let me know.<\/p>\n

Finally, if you’re a University of Rochester student, you can get into the conference for free. Big perk of hosting this and of our undergrad and graduate translation programs.<\/a><\/p>\n
