The place is Gatwick, the month is May
The Hilton Hotel is where we’ll stay
The Hilton? What’s the reason why?
It’s this year’s conference of the ITI
Masterclasses a choice of four
Technology, money, could you ask for more?
Working the room is the other choice
Helping translators to find their voice
Drinks and dinner round off the first day
Before the conference gets underway
Soap and drugs, workflow and planes
CPD, export, social media and games
A yoga session to help us unwind
Stretch our limbs and empty our mind
Professional photos taken on site
A chance to get our image just right
Line dancing, whose idea was that?
Yes please I’ll have a sparkly hat
As Sunday dawns there’s lots in store
Quality, patents, contracts and more
Keynote speakers entertain and inspire
Figureheads we all admire
A final break with cakes and tea
Then singing translators with “Stand by me”
At the summary session we take a seat
And soon realise we’re in for a treat
A conference video has been prepared
And we’re the first to see it aired
Next it’s feedback, all positive of course
All in one voice, if a little hoarse
We ate and drank and had some fun
And learnt to look after number one
With knowledge gained at every session
We’ve pulled together as a profession
Hailed a success by all attending
For the conference committee a happy ending
