This workshop presents an integrated framework for understanding how communication works, how meaning is constructed, and how interpreters can recognize, analyze, and navigate the hidden architecture that shapes understanding.
Whether you're looking to deepen your interpreting practice, expand your understanding of communication and meaning-making, or simply spend some time learning alongside fellow interpreters, this weekend is an opportunity to invest in both your professional growth and your interpreting community.
And yes—there will be door prizes!
Five years deserves a celebration!
After the first portion of our workshop wraps up on Friday afternoon, we'll take a break from professional development and gather Friday evening to celebrate SLS's 5th anniversary!
Come ready to relax, enjoy good food and good company, celebrate how far we've come, and spend some time with the people who make this community so special.
The journey has just begun!
Early bird tickets go on sale September 1, 2026 and will be available through February 15, 2027.
