Get the right tools for the job!
How could you streamline your work using the latest technology? There’s a vast range of tools aimed at project managers in our industry, so it’s not always easy to figure out what would work best for you. That’s why we created the Technology Days at Elia’s Focus on Project Management. It’s your opportunity to hear about the latest technology solutions on the market and, most importantly, understand how they could make your daily life easier. We’ve hand-picked some of the industry’s top technology providers to give you a preview of a range of tools offering solutions for almost every aspect of your work, from managing workflows to creating translation memories to invoicing and more. Plus, you’ll get hands-on experience and the chance to chat with the experts, making it so much easier to implement your new-found tech knowledge back at the office.
