The International Association for Translation and Intercultural Studies (IATIS) has held four conferences so far: Seoul in 2004, Cape Town in 2006, Melbourne in 2009, and Belfast in 2012. The organisation of the 5th IATIS Conference, to be held in Belo Horizonte in July 2015, is now well underway, and already we're turning our attention to the 6th IATIS Conference, which is to be held in July or August 2018.

IATIS would thus like to invite those interested to prepare proposals to host the 2018 Conference the guidelines (see attached document).

Proposals to host the 2015 conference should be emailed to Dr. Julie Boéri, Chair of the IATIS Conference Committee, at conference.bid[at]iatis.org, to arrive no later than May 30th, 2015. Please put "IATIS 2018 Proposal" in the subject line.

The IATIS Executive hopes to announce the venue for the 2018 IATIS conference in Belo Horizonte in July 2015.

Details of previous conferences and the forthcoming Belo Horizonte Conference are available here.
