What creates trust?
Trust grows when interpreters and translators… Finish the sentence. What builds trust in practice? #SignProfConf2027
Trust is not created by a job title/registration badge alone. It develops through preparation, communication, honesty, and accountability.
Are your skills ahead of your confidence?
Our latest blog on Nene Ekufu’s #SignProfConf2026 session, exploring self-doubt, imposter feelings, the “Toxic 10” and why confidence may grow through appropriate action rather than waiting to feel ready.

Can AI really sign? buff.ly/BkRmNxy
Our latest blog reflects on Dr Ben Saunders’ #SignProfConf2026 session, looking at AI-generated BSL, what the technology still finds difficult and when it may add access rather than replace human expertise.

What is one ? you think the profession should be talking about in 2027?
One theme came through clearly:
How can we prepare our profession for the future?
Consider our 2027 theme:

The Conference may have ended, but the conversations are still continuing.
It encouraged us to stop and look more closely at our work, our decisions and the things we sometimes do without questioning.
What is one idea that has stayed with you?
#SignProfConf2026
The Together Conference would not be possible without the presenters their research, experience, personal reflections.
Thank you to every presenter who contributed this year and supported us in exploring this year’s theme
#SignProfConf2026#ConferenceSpeakers
