Happy International Mother Language Day! 😊

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!

@frederik_mrtns Welcome to the club 😊

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 🥰

Good evening! Reporting live from Atelier29 and our Regional Assembly with a festive table centrepiece and our wonderful Bureau 🤩

We will be talking all things Lima Assembly, so if you're also a fan of capybaras, do follow us and @aiiconline 🥳

[AIIC Belgium @BelAIIC]

Massive thanks to our Bureau and @JakubRenner for the quick recap of the many resolutions and amendments to be voted on at the Lima Assembly!

[AIIC Belgium @BelAIIC]

As a reminder, tonight we will be holding our Regional Assembly 🥳

Now, who's excited?!? We most certainly are 😁 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 🇵🇪

[AIIC Belgium @BelAIIC]

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.

@aiicafrica SCARY indeed! 🎃

[AIIC Belgium @BelAIIC]

@deletreando If only we had a private jet, right?!?

[AIIC Belgium @BelAIIC]

To celebrate #Halloween    we thought we'd collect thoughts on what really scares interpreters 😱

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 🍻 Thank you all for coming! #1nt

[AIIC VEGA Network @AIICVega]

On 23 Sept @BelAIIC kicked off this year's Vega Mentoring Programme. 🎉 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 ☮️ through their work.
To mark this day, we recorded a message in all 24 official #EU languages! Can you guess them all? 💬

[AIIC Belgium @BelAIIC]

@AIICUSA We think our Simona did an excellent job 🥳

[AIIC Belgium @BelAIIC]

It's a sunny start today for Day 2 of #PRIMSinLisbon 🇵🇹

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 🥳

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! 😊🇵🇹

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 🙏

[AIIC Belgium @BelAIIC]

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) 💪

Also, goodies! 🤩

Group pictures of our Region from #PRIMSinLisbon 🥳

Nice to have a couple of pre-candidates with us too!
