Supporting Deaf People online conference 2010

The seventh in the highly successful Supporting Deaf People online conference series will take place between the 3-6th February, 2010

Up to 2.0 CEUs are available for this conference.

Venue: the Internet

This year's themes are:

* Effective interpreting, politeness, face and culture
* Interpreting in specialist settings
* Interpreters, fallout and vicarious trauma

Keynote presenters are Kelly Murphy on 'Profanity as a function of language and strategies for interpreters' and Anna Mindess and Dr. Thomas K. Holcomb on 'Recognizing politeness differences between deaf and hearing cultures: a key to effective interpreting'. But there are many other fascinating sessions at the conference.

If you're not sure how an online conference works, see http://www.online-conference.net/sdp2010/faq.htm or email judithm@directlearn.co.uk for more info. They're easy to use, you need no
special equipment or software and they are really, really convenient - participate from work, home or an internet cafe!

If you have not attended an SDP conference before, here's what a few previous delegates said:

"This was my first SPD and I wanted to thank you for all the incredible work that you did pre-conference, as well as during. WOW!! What an amazing experience. I hope to return for more of this type of learning."

"This was one of the best conferences I have ever experienced ­ whether in person or online. The caliber of the presentation materials and conference participant posts far exceeded my expectations. I look forward to the next SDP online conference and will definitely recommend this conference to others."

"Clearly, I really enjoy this conference! The flexibility, easy-to-navigate style and non-threatening interaction with fellow delegates keep me coming back year after year. The presentations are thorough and relevant to my work. What an asset SDP is to the learning process of interpreters worldwide!"
