This is Meet Central Europe Conference
During an associations meeting in Belgrade, Serbia in November 2017 Miklos Ban, president of the Hungarian association of translation companies Proford approached colleagues Trisha Kovacic-Young and Radka Vegrichtová, (who phoned Michal Kmeť), fellow presidents of their respective Austrian, Czech, and Slovak associations with the idea to create a regional translation industry conference. After several meetings over the next weeks held in the centrally located Vienna, Meet Central Europe Conference has been created and planning of its inaugural conference in Budapest was underway.
To this day, the MCE Conference is co-organized by representatives of the founding associations using a join-venture Meet Central Europe, s.r.o. a limited company headquartered in Slovakia.
