The annual Mediterranean Editors and Translators Meeting (METM) is an established CPD and networking event – a highlight in the calendar for many editors, translators, interpreters and other providers of English-language support services in the Mediterranean area and beyond. It offers one and a half days of presentations and keynote speeches, two half days of pre-conference workshops, and a programme of “off-METM” events.
The 2026 meeting will take place in Perugia, the capital of Umbria, known as the “green heart of Italy”. This medieval hilltop town with a rich Etruscan past is famous for its international festivals: Umbria Jazz, Eurochocolate and the International Journalism Festival. It’s also home to the famous Baci chocolates and some of Italy’s finest wines. The venue, the Hotel Giò Wine & Jazz Area, located just outside the old town, is one of the main conference centres in central Italy.
The agenda containing the full list of sessions and speakers can be viewed on the event website, where you can also register.
Fees: ITI members are entitled to a sister association discount. Early-bird fees apply until 15 July.
Location: Hotel Giò Wine & Jazz Area, Via Ruggero D'Andreotto 19, Perugia, Italy
