Get ready to gather where deep roots meet bold ideas! Join hundreds of interpreters from across the country in vibrant Oakland, California, a city known for its creativity, diversity, and powerful sense of place.
This year’s theme, “Creating Community Rooted in Interpretation,” celebrates how we grow together through shared stories, inclusive practices, and connections that sustain both people and the planet. From inspiring keynotes and engaging hands-on experiences and sessions, to local field trip exploration highlighting the Bay Area’s cultural and natural heritage, this conference invites you to dig in, branch out, and flourish together.
Check out the all new conference agenda to see how we are mixing it up this year with more interaction, more engagement and more opportunities for you to meet new people and create community!
Come ready to be inspired, challenged, and connected! Because when interpreters put down roots, communities thrive!
We acknowledge that all of the lands within the Oakland area are the ancestral lands of East Bay Ohlone, Bay Miwok, and the Northern Valley Yokut, who are politically organized and represented by a number of tribes today. We make this recognition as a way to respect and honor the Indigenous peoples who first cultivated and inhabited this land.
