CONFERENCE THEME: MIND YOUR LANGUAGE
The 2015 conference will be held in Ireland under the theme of "Mind Your Language". This will be a theme with lots of different angles.
The responsibilities of broadcasters to minority and lesser used languages will be a central aspect of the conference. Coupled with this will be an examination of the cost and the benefits involved to the broadcaster and the wider community. Also the threat to established languages will be examined as well as the role of sub titles versus voice over's for broadcasters.
Practitioners from across the globe will be involved in this unique event.
WHY ATTEND?
The 2015 CR Annual Conference will explore a wide range of topics, ranging from language extinction to growth and development. Responsibilities, cost and the role of technology in language development will all be covered.
But as the conference will be held in Ireland, the richness of music and dance will also be on the agenda. All who attend will be invited to share in the wealth of culture that makes Ireland a unique little island on the Western edge of Europe.
Conference 2015 is intended to be a unique event for all participants.
