Along with the session tracks, the UTIC exhibition area was open for participants, giving them s valuable opportunity to learn about the innovations that exhibiting companies had in store and talk to the representatives of international translation associations. The exhibitors held exciting contests and prize drawings of their software products, as well workshop sessions.

The sessions were run in three parallel tracks: “The Art of Translation”, “The Business of Translation”, and “Translation Technologies”. Within the “The Art of Translation” section, experts of the industry discussed and spoke about translation development as a professional occupation and the means and ways to increase qualifications of freelancers.

The participants honored the presentations “SDL Trados Solutions Review” by Elena Kosmatova, “Next Generation Localization Testing” by Taras Tovstyak, and “Mobile Apps Localisation: ‘Name That Tune’” by Sergei Korniyenko.

Alexander Bondarenko and Tetyana Struk shared their experience in working with educational institutions, organizing internships for students and developing of research methodology. All the participants of this discussion recognized the need for establishing closer contacts between translation businesses and educational organizations, implementing practical approach when preparing students, and developing specialized courses, which would enable teaching the modern translation technologies.
