Language Professionals' Networking Event
Meet, connect and converse with like-minded linguists and language professionals.
In September, we tried and tested a new location in the City close to Bank station: we gathered in a very nice French brasserie where the attendees listened to Gabriella Ferenczi's short talk titled "My journey through the Himalayas.
