Why Attend an Online Conference? The Benefits of The Together Conference 2025

The world of professional development has changed dramatically in recent years, and one of the most significant shifts has been the rise of online conferences. While in-person events have long been a staple for interpreters and translators, virtual conferences like The Together Conference are proving to be an accessible, cost-effective, and engaging alternative.


With The Together Conference 2025 on the horizon, now is the perfect time to explore why attending an online conference might be the best decision you make for your professional growth this year.


1. Cost-Effective Professional Development

One of the biggest barriers to attending in-person conferences is the expense. Flights, accommodation, food, and travel costs can quickly add up, making international events inaccessible to many professionals.

✅ With The Together Conference, there are no travel or accommodation costs.

✅ Early bird tickets make it even more affordable to attend.

✅ You still get access to leading experts, top-tier presentations, and networking opportunities—without the hefty price tag!

For many interpreters and translators, CPD budgets are limited, so an online format ensures that professional development remains financially accessible.


2. Access from Anywhere in the World

Gone are the days of having to take time off work, rearrange schedules, or factor in long-distance travel. With an online conference:

✅ You can join from anywhere—your home, your office, or even on the go.

✅ You don’t need a visa or special travel arrangements to access international expertise.

✅ You can balance learning with your existing commitments, without having to step away from work or family obligations.

For interpreters and translators in remote areas, or those who may struggle with physical accessibility at in-person events, an online conference is a game-changer.


3. A Truly Global Experience

Traditional conferences are often limited by geography, drawing in participants mostly from the host country or region. In contrast, The Together Conference brings together interpreters, translators, and professionals from across the world, offering a rich exchange of ideas, experiences, and best practices.

✅ Last year’s event had attendees from 37 different countries, creating a truly international experience.

✅ The 2025 conference will be accessible in multiple languages, including English, British Sign Language (BSL), International Sign (IS), Spoken Spanish, and Spoken French.

✅ Meet and engage with professionals from different interpreting and translation landscapes, expanding your global network in ways that an in-person event simply can’t.

This is a rare opportunity to gain international perspectives that can broaden your understanding of the profession.


4. More Flexibility, Less Stress

Attending an in-person conference means committing to a rigid schedule, navigating an unfamiliar city, and rushing between sessions. An online conference, however, gives you:

✅ The ability to choose sessions that work best for your schedule.

✅ A stress-free environment—no running between conference rooms!

✅ Breakout spaces, online networking, and live chat functions so you can interact at your own pace.

The Together Conference platform is designed for ease of use, with an intuitive layout that makes it simple to engage with sessions, access resources, and connect with fellow attendees.


5. Interactive & Engaging—More Than Just Watching a Screen

A common misconception is that online conferences lack engagement and interactivity. But The Together Conference is designed to keep you actively involved!

✅ Live sessions with presenters allow real-time interaction.

✅ Breakout discussion areas provide spaces to network and share ideas.

✅ Competitions and engagement activities keep things fun and dynamic.

Unlike in-person events where you might hesitate to ask a question in a crowded room, online formats give you direct access to presenters via chat and discussion features.


6. On-Demand Access to Content

Ever attended a conference, found two amazing sessions scheduled at the same time, and had to choose between them? With an online event like The Together Conference:

✅ You can access recorded sessions after the event.

✅ There’s no fear of missing out—you can catch up on anything you missed!

✅ You can re-watch key sessions and take notes at your own pace.

This feature alone makes online conferences a superior learning experience, ensuring that you get the most value out of your ticket.


7. A Conference That Fits Your Life

The Together Conference is built to work around you, not the other way around. You don’t have to worry about:

❌ Long flights and jet lag.

❌ Expensive hotels and travel logistics.

❌ Taking multiple days off work.

Instead, you get a fully immersive conference experience with international speakers, cutting-edge discussions, and valuable networking—all from the comfort of your home.
