RELAETI, the Red Latinoamericana de Estudios de Traducción e Interpretación, held its first biennial conference on 29 June 2016 in Zacatecas, Mexico. Demonstrating once again that translation and interpreting studies are growing academic fields of inquiry in these regions, for three days the Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas became a hub for about 100 delegates from Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, United States, Peru, Qatar, and Mexico. Topics for presentations ranged from translation history and translation's role in the colonial periods, to publishing projects and markets, migration, and terminology. The host of RELAETI’s 2018 meeting will be announced at the beginning of 2017 and the enthusiasm shown by participants at its 2016 edition already suggests that translation and interpreting studies will keep attracting scholars’ and academics’ attention for years to come.
