These seasoned interpreters will take us through their first steps in interpreting in cultural, artistic, and literary events, share anecdotes from past projects, and give us tips on how to build a reputation in this sub-world of interpretation.
The panel, moderated by NYCT Program Director Ana Lis Salotti, will be followed by a Q&A session.
