SigncodeUK are proud to sponsor this year’s VLP (Visual Language Professionals) annual conference which takes place on Saturday 30th September & Sunday 1st October. This year we will be visiting Bristol for the first time and we will be hosted by the Armada House Conference Centre.

The VLP membership group is a professional association which represents communication professionals whose working languages are English and British Sign Language (BSL).

VLP was established in 2010 for British Sign Language interpreters to support each other on a local and national basis in order to promote and maintain high standards of sign language interpreting and encourage good practice throughout the profession. Since then they have expanded their membership to include other fully qualified communication professionals who work with deaf people including Deafblind communicators, BSL/English Translators and Lipspeakers.

Tickets for the event will cost £90 each for the two day programme which includes presentations and workshops, access to conference materials as relevant and a lunch buffet on both days. For more details, please click here.

A directory of qualified language professionals local to you is available on the VLP website.
