ATA55: I Submitted!

I love it when fun things go viral. Earlier today, I submitted a proposal for the 2014 ATA conference, then commented on Twitter that we need an “I Submitted” badge for the ATA conference, like the “I Voted” stickers that polling places in the U.S. give out. French/Hungarian>English translator Carolyn Yohn ran with the idea, and soon changed her Twitter profile picture to:

Cute, don’t you think? And there’s still time to earn your own badge, since the proposal submission deadline is March 10! If you’re looking for tips on how to write your session proposal, you can view the free webinar that I presented for ATA, “How to write a winning session proposal.” Thanks, Carolyn, for this fun meme!

    Cute, although at a glance, esp. being this small, it looks a bit like “ATASS”… ๐Ÿ˜‰

    ATA55 is why I use Roman numerals for ATA Conferences, e.g., ATA LV

    Thanks for the idea, Corinne! It came at the right moment—this was a fun aside from my workday.

    For anyone who has submitted a proposal, here’s the link to download the sticker:

    (It’s much clearer to read in the original size ๐Ÿ˜‰ )

    “ATASS” — ATAware finally discovers a novel way to become surprisingly profitable.

    Oh come on, like I’m the ONLY person who thought of that joke? ๐Ÿ™‚
