There's a great range of events to interest interpreters out there. The best place to meet other interpretation professionals, hear about innovative projects, and discuss current issues is at AHI's own annual conference in September. This year we had a rich programme of site visists and lively discussion in Northumberland: watch this space for our plans for 2009.
We also run one-day events, which are a great opportunity to showcase innovative work. Please contact us if you have an idea for an event, or would like to host one.
Many other organisations also offer interpretation-related events and training courses. These are listed below as a service to the interpretation community: please note that a listing here does not imply endorsement or approval by AHI.
