About eCPD Webinars

eCPD Webinars was launched in 2010 and since then has run over 50 online seminars under its own name. In addition to this, it has run many online events on behalf of flagship bodies such as the UK's Institute of Translation and Interpreting, the American Translators Association, and the Australian Institute of Interpreters and Translators.

eCPD Webinars is fast becoming the premier career development resource for translation and interpreting professionals. Over 500 professionals from 25 different countries have attended one of our online events over the past 12 months alone. Almost half of these have returned for more than one event, creating a uniquely engaged, global community of professionals.
