MT Summit 2021 Goes Virtual
Due to continuing COVID restrictions on travel, MT Summit XVIII 2021 [1]
will be held on August 16-20, 2021. The organizing committee has also
extended the submission deadline for papers and presentations by one
week to Tuesday, May 18, 2021 to allow people more time to reconsider
and adjust their plans for submissions given the new conference format.
As an online conference, MT Summit 2021 will accommodate more academic,
industry, and government specialists from all around the world,
especially MT professionals who cannot travel to the United States at
the moment. In a recent survey we conducted, more than 80% of the
respondents indicated they were planning to attend only virtually. With
the move to a fully virtual event and an inclusive approach, we
anticipate more than 500 attendees from across the MT spectrum this
year.
MT Summit 2021 will include these features:
* 50+ presentations with fresh research, industry insights, and use
cases from practitioners at top-tier universities, leading MT providers,
and global enterprises
* Keynote presentations by Lucie Seguin, CEO of the Translation Bureau
of Canada, Jane Nemcova, former Managing Director of AI at Lionbridge,
and world-recognized MT researchers Lucia Specia and Graham Neubig
* A special presentation on the results of a recent worldwide survey
on MT technology and business trends by Common Sense Advisory
* A panel of MT experts headed by Alon Lavie, VP of Language
Technologies at Unbabel, discussing the future of MT from the varied
perspectives of researchers, technology providers, LSPs, and enterprises
* Workshops on MT of Low-Resource Languages, Automated Spoken Language
Translation, Patent and Scientific Literature Translation, and Automatic
Translation between Sign and Verbal Languages (all included with
conference registration)
* Several hours of fluid networking opportunities for all conference
attendees
* Career mentoring sessions for students with experts from industry,
government, and academia, and special student registration rates
provided by a generous sponsor
* A technology showcase & fair with demonstrations of the latest
MT-related innovations by a variety of sponsors and exhibitors
