 St\, Edinburgh EH1 2JL. The venue is about 10 mins walk from Waverley Stat
 ion. For lunch\, we will be going to the nearby Ciao Roma Italian restaura
 nt (64 South Bridge\, EH1 1LS).\n\nTopic\n\nThis workshop will cover the f
 ollowing aspects of working with direct clients:\n\n• Creating a client 
 base: How can we find and keep new direct clients even if we lack the know
 -how (and enthusiasm) to engage in marketing?\n\n• Communication: From e
 mail and Zoom calls to face-to-face meetings\, how can we use communicatio
 n to build long-term relationships with new and existing clients\, and to 
 increase our chances of finding new ones?\n\n• Technology: With all the 
 talk of AI and machine translation\, are freelancers in danger of forgetti
 ng that technology can be our best friend when working with direct clients
 ?\n\n• Pricing: How do we set and agree prices with clients? What risks 
 do we face when doing so? Do translators worry about the wrong things when
  agreeing prices with clients?\n\n• Translation: Should we approach our 
 texts differently when working with direct clients?\n\nThe workshop will u
 se an interactive peer-based format in which participants will be asked to
  draw on and share their experiences\, whether working with direct clients
 \, agencies or in-house.\n\nSpeaker\n\nTim Gutteridge lives in Edinburgh a
 nd translates from Spanish into English for direct clients in a wide range
  of sectors including publishing\, film and TV\, computer games\, politica
 l thinktanks and popular science. He has been a Member of the ITI since 20
