Signal Festival. Talks, panel discussion, and a live opera performance. Read the summaries and be inspired
Signal was a 1-day online festival that we hosted on Friday 24th September 2021 to celebrate the 3rd year anniversary of Language Professionals’ Networking Event, a non-profit, interdisciplinary monthly social gathering.
Since 2018, we’ve organised networking events, every single month. And like any birthday worth its salt, we wanted to celebrate in style.
We thought we would dedicate a whole day to celebrate not only this special occasion but also the wonderfully colourful industry that we’re in as language professionals.
The event was a blast. We created this summary to share some of the thoughts and ideas that were discussed.
