TextPartner sp.j.

We were thrilled to meet so many wine enthusiasts at the language industry unconference in Birmingham – thank you and cheers to all of you! As the host of a wine tasting break, TextPartner's representatives - Ewa and Marek - had the pleasure of engaging in conversations about languages and wine. They also wrote a short article on our website exploring the connection between the two within their professional experiences.

A big thank you to Association of Translation Companies for giving Ewa and Marek the opportunity to take attendees on a virtual walk through some world-class vineyards in the UK and Poland. Despite their cool climates and smaller scale, both countries certainly produce outstanding wines! Ewa and Marek were also amazed to raise £240 for Translators without Borders through a wine raffle! Those who remember the two cycling across the UK for TWB in 2015 will know just how exciting this news is for us.

Last but not least, the wines which Ewa and Marek selected come from family-owned estates dedicated to quality in every aspect of their production. As a quick reminder of what we tasted and where it came from, check out the description of the four wines in our website.

A *Conference Host's* job is a bit more than overseeing an event. It's about creating an environment where everyone feels engaged and valued - that's how we wanted everyone to feel in Gdańsk for our EULOGIA ALLIANCE spring conference on 23 and 24 May and a celebration of Poland's 20th year in the European Union! Thank you Corina Hay and Martti Kostamoinen for your knowledge puzzle, Jorge Cabezas for the programme, and last but to least to Peggy SANTERRE, Diego Cresceri, Martin Boberg, Raymund Prins, Nele Koduvere, Henrik Kühnemann, Cecilia Enbäck, Carolina Kühnemann, Marta Aragão for your awe-inspiring sessions! Thank you to all the participants for sharing your knowledge and experience. Photo credits: Kalina Gawrysiak
