The Utah Language Access Conference (ULAC) is a joint effort from key stakeholders in language access and interpretation in the state of Utah, coming from varied organizations and industry backgrounds, including interpreters, translators, trainers, language companies, and consumers. The Utah Translators and Interpreters Association (UTIA) is a non-profit organization comprised of, and formed by, language professionals in Utah. UTIA’s goal is to advance and elevate the quality and availability of language services in Utah, and work for the development of the language access professions.
ULAC provides educational and networking opportunities for interpreters and translators working in healthcare, education, the legal field, and in the community at large.
Interpreters, translators, trainers, hospital and clinic administrators, compliance officers, language program coordinators, language companies and service providers from Utah and surrounding states are invited to gather for two days to share knowledge, enhance skills, exchange new policy trends and engage in other emerging topics impacting language access.
Our conference attracts professionals for spoken languages and ASL, and provides continuing education units (CEUs) for certified professionals (ATA, CCHI, NBCMI, RID, UIP, AOC).
