Despite the naysayers, current industry opportunities are a lot bigger than your wildest dreams. Let's learn why, and how to capitalize on them. Trust me, I’ll take you there…

Make AI work for you!

Join a practical, humorous, and hands-on training to navigate AI reality. What's crucial now? How to start if you haven't? What to avoid or ignore? And what must you embrace?

Daily, a flood of "new" tech promises high incomes in the language industry. Expect a six-figure salary, but constant releases, upgrades, and hype make it challenging to discern reality.

Consider your competitors and industry leaders. How are they adapting?

AI poses a threat, but fear not. Acknowledge, research, and train. The future for language professionals lies in embracing evolving technologies. It's a mental hurdle, but the rewards are substantial. Trust me, I'll guide you to the finish line.

  • ✓ Sift through the current maze of industry AI hype
    ✓ Find your seat at a very large and lucrative industry table
    ✓ Distill some useful tools from those "not ready" for prime time

    ✓ Decide if/when the time is right to pivot to a new business model

About the trainer: Bridget Hylak

Bridget G. Hylak, CT, CI, MTC, is a seasoned tech enthusiast, speaker and communications industry veteran with a career bridging the gap from analog processes to comprehensive productivity tools. “I stake my claim on making connections. Language is our best tool - and our worst weapon - in that effort, and as a type of ‘language’ all its own, AI has the ability to both greatly enhance and brutally destroy those efforts.”

 

A Stanford University Cum Laude graduate, international speaker, author and consultant on language, emerging technologies, and DEI/Accessibility, Bridget boasts a strong background in managing dev teams in identifying and creating tech stack components, one of which recently became part of the RWS ecosystem. She is a certified translator and court interpreter, has served three years on the Pennsylvania Language Monitoring and Evaluation Team, volunteers on language access issues, and recently finished a term as Administrator of the ATA Language Technology Division.
