At ELIA ND in Munich, the participants learnt how to blog to promote their translation business and had fun doing it together

We are at the ELIA Networking Days in Munich and we - Vicenta Ten Soriano (SDL) Dilek Yazici (DILTRA), Angela Wende and Hans Breuer (CETRA Language Solutions), Flory Stroe (Kwintessential), Francoise Bajon (Version Internationale and President of ELIA) have been given the challenge of writing a blog in under 50 minutes which would be posted on the ELIA website.

The idea came from Neil Payne founder and owner of Kwintessential - who proudly admits that he built his translation and cultural training company on blogging.

Neil showed how easy it is to create a blog when you have the adequate tools by getting a group of novice bloggers to write and post a blog in under 50 minutes. From beginners to expert bloggers, Neil's presentation captured the audience. It was engaging, interesting, interactive.

What did we learn?

• Why blogging is important to promote and grow your business
• What tools to use, tips and tricks
• What return on investment you can expect from it

If you want to join sessions like this and gain innovative ideas that can help grow your translation business, join us at the next ELIA ND in Malta 3-4 October 2013.

We appreciate your feedback on our blog.

Translation Companies meet for business: Icebreaking ELIA Networking Days in Munich

The day after the coronation of the new King of the Netherlands people practically from all over the world set off to Munich in southern Germany's Bavaria for a 3 day conference for the translation and globalization industry.

This hasn't been only a meeting of culturally diverse minds but also a feast for pan-european gastronomy: At this language industry "Mai-Fest" there's not only the beer selection that Germany is, righteously so, famous for but also an exquisite melange of Germanized mediterranean food that might even inspire Jamie Oliver to include in his sublime repertoire.

Industry leaders, trendsetters and kings and queens of a wide variety of Translation Companies gathered to collaborate, catch up on industry developments, learn about latest language technologies, and create innovative business models here in the BMW capital of the world.




It was a double kick off: the unofficial cocktail drew not only the CEOs of the translation companies but soccer aficionados from all over Munich for the spectacular match between Barcelona and Bayern München. A big success not only for German and Munich but also for the translation industry world-wide!

Coronation in the Netherlands? We'd say Translation reigns!
