ELIA Together conferences serve as a platform for industry leaders, language service companies, and freelancers to discuss the present and future of the language trade. Our 2024 edition promises immersive presentations and innovative industry fairs that will captivate your interest.
Under the theme “Perfect Harmony,” the conference aims to shed light on the collaborative nature of our professional relationships and the utilisation of technology to meet market demands. By showcasing various perspectives via insightful presentations, enriching networking sessions, and engaging panel discussions, we will explore how we can work together to maximise success.
The 2024 edition will feature two tracks: “We’re on the Same Side” and “Let’s Meet in the Middle“.

Effective communication and understanding are crucial in today’s digital landscape. This track emphasises the importance of finding common ground and working harmoniously with our counterparts and partners.
