WORKSHOPS AND SEMINARS

Throughout the year TAPIT conducts virtual (Meet-and-Greets) and in-person workshops and seminars in different regions of Tennessee for medical interpreters, court interpreters, and translators.

Social Events

Besides virtual Meet-and-Greets, interpreters and translators also enjoy informal gatherings where they get together with others sharing the same interest in languages, as well as other hobbies such as hiking, or food.

The 2-day TAPIT Conference is typically held in the Fall and for the last two years we offered a remote option, in addition to in-person attendance. TAPIT brings prominent speakers and presenters from all over the country and abroad who share their fascinating, useful, and interesting information with us. The Conference includes a wide range of presentations related to interpreting and translation and an evening social event.

ADVOCACY

Joining a group strengthens your voice as a Language Service Professional. When we speak up together, it’s easier to raise awareness, push for fair standards, and make sure decision‑makers understand the value of Language Access. Being part of a united community helps you create real change that’s hard to achieve alone.
