This won’t be a formal meeting—just a relaxed, collaborative space to bounce around ideas for future presentations, articles, and ways we can all contribute to the group in meaningful (and doable!) ways.

But more importantly, we want to hear from you:
What are you working on?
What topics are you passionate about?
What would you love to do or learn more about in the financial translation space?

Whether you’re already active in the field or just starting to explore it, your input is valuable. Come share your ideas, meet colleagues, and help us build something great together.

This activity is for ATA members only.
