Conferences I organized two conferences on Literary Translation with the British Council, the first was held in London and the other in Amman. A lot of specialists and academics in the field of translation attended these conferences.

In the last few years I have been invited to all translation conferences organized by the Higher Council of Culture in Egypt. In each of these conferences I have submitted a paper and presided a session.
