Happy International Mother Language Day! ๐
Ours is a truly multilingual Region, so today more than any other day we decided to address you in our 3 official languages (Dutch, French and German) + English!

All good things come to an end...
After a joint 17 years on the Bureau, @RandazzoSimona and Lucia Ventura will be stepping down as Secretary and Treasurer. They are replaced by Elena Bocharova and Elisa Gallego.
A heartfelt THANK YOU for all they've done for the Region ๐ฅฐ
@JakubRenner Final order of business, welcoming this year's BANT (BelgiannAIIC Network of Trainers) winners, Cassandre Gillain and Frederik Mertens โบ๏ธ
Presenting the award is Chris Guichot de Fortis, the BANT Coordinator
Good evening! Reporting live from Atelier29 and our Regional Assembly with a festive table centrepiece and our wonderful Bureau ๐คฉ
We will be talking all things Lima Assembly, so if you're also a fan of capybaras, do follow us and @aiiconline ๐ฅณ
As a reminder, tonight we will be holding our Regional Assembly ๐ฅณ
Now, who's excited?!? We most certainly are ๐ Here is a live picture of us literally *dying* to see our colleagues later today!
Expect pictures, insightful quotes and many more updates on the Lima Assembly ๐ต๐ช
If you won't be attending the Lima Assembly, don't forget to give your proxy to a colleague who will. Unless 50% of members are present/represented, decissions won't be valid.
We'll talk about this, and many more key Assembly items, in our Regional Assembly on 2 December.
To celebrate #Halloweenโฏโฏโฏ we thought we'd collect thoughts on what really scares interpreters ๐ฑ
To get us started, imagine spending days preparing for a very technical conference only to wake up on the day... VOICELESS!
What would give you a massive fright?

Yesterday our Bureau joined forces with our @AIICVega Mentoring Team for our Newcomers' Event. @aiiconline members, pre-candidates and colleagues interested in AIIC got to know each other and the Association over a drink ๐ป Thank you all for coming! #1nt
On 23 Sept @BelAIIC kicked off this year's Vega Mentoring Programme. ๐ Mentors and mentees gathered at a local bar for networking and discussions. With 15+ participants and Bureau reps, it was a great success! Next event mid-October. Stay tuned! #aiic#AIICVega
Happy #InternationalTranslationDay!
This day pays tribute to the role of #language professionals in connecting nations and fostering peace โฎ๏ธ through their work.
To mark this day, we recorded a message in all 24 official #EU languages! Can you guess them all? ๐ฌ
It's a sunny start today for Day 2 of #PRIMSinLisbon ๐ต๐น
Today we kick things off with colleagues from all over the world sharing insights on negotiating with clients.
Very proud to have two of our members up there! @RandazzoSimona and Federica Mamini, the PRIMS Chair ๐ฅณ

The afternoon is dedicated to gender perspectives & differences in negotiations. After a thought-provoking introduction, we're now delving into the specifics

Bom dia from Lisbon! ๐๐ต๐น
Reporting live from #PRIMSinLisbon where @aiiconline members, candidates and pre-candidates are getting together to talk negotiation skills
A big shout-out to all our colleagues who volunteered to be in the booth ๐
#1nt#CPD
In the second session, we're looking at data to learn more about our profession and use that knowledge successfully when negotiating with clients (and explaining why AI doesn't stand a chance) ๐ช
Also, goodies! ๐คฉ
