Thanks so much
to all of you
who joined our
reunion in Los
Angeles and for
being part of
this experience.
think many of us (myself
included) are still abuzz
with excitement and
gratitude for the opportunity
to meet in Los Angeles at our
Annual Conference. ATA63
was one for the books! After
a few challenging years, we
finally had a fully in-person
conference again-and it was
a truly unforgettable feeling.
The energy of 1,100 attendees
was invigorating, and it sure
felt like a pre-pandemic
conference! Thanks so much
to all of you who joined our
reunion in LA and for being
part of this experience. I'm
especially grateful to our
200+ first-time attendees-
I'm so happy you joined us!
We had our biggest turnout
ever at the Buddies Welcome
Newbies event, and I hope
everyone felt welcomed
and enjoyed your first
ATA conference.
I really appreciated the
warm welcome of our
co-hosts, the Northern
California Translators
Association and the
Association of Translators
and Interpreters in the
San Diego Area, who were
there for us throughout the
conference to help answer
questions and share tips
about the LA area.
I would also like to extend
a big thanks to the ATA63
sponsors, including our Gold
Sponsors-Pixelogic Media
Partners, Trados, Translated,
and WordFast-and our
Bronze Sponsors-Alliant
Insurance Services and
TransPerfect. Also, thanks

to all our exhibitors-check
out their information on the
ATA63 website!
Of course, ATA63 wouldn't
have been possible without
our volunteers: Division
Leadership Councils, session
reviewers, event hosts,
volunteers applying for
approval for continuing
education credits, speakers,
and many other key
volunteers. Thank you so
much for your dedication and
hard work.
And finally, but perhaps
most importantly, thank
you to our amazing ATA
Headquarters staff and
especially Professional
Development Manager
Adrian Aleckna. The staff
are the people behind the
scenes, processing your
registrations, creating
the conference schedule,
updating the conference
website, ordering badges,
sending out daily conference
emails and alerts, answering
everyone's questions-and
taking care of every little
detail. We truly appreciate all
their hard work to make our
conference great and making
it possible for us to meet year
after year.
I apologize for the
technical problems we had
with the conference app
this year. I know this was
frustrating, and I can assure
