The efsli AGM and Seminars

Each year efsli organises its AGM and an event (seminar; conference; workshops; consultation sessions; etc.) with national interpreter organisations. Traditionally, efsli invites the local or national sign language interpreter organisations to host these events.  efsli has the goal of alternating the venue of the events between a country in the Northern and Southern part of Europe, year by year.

A conference is organised every four years and a seminar in the intervening years, however the last decision, whether the hosting country will organise a seminar, a conference or another type of event, will lay with the NASLI organising it.
