English Translation at the Global E-Government Forum
On October, 6-8th I worked at the Global E-Government Forum 2014 held in Astana with the help of the UN agencies.
Participants from all over the world came to Astana to discuss issues such as e-goverment, open government, smart governance, open data, etc.
The first day of the forum was dedicated specifically to the open data discussion; representatives of the World Bank gave speeches, as well as those who had already implemented open data projects in their countries: Azerbaijan, Moldova, Russia, etc.
The second day of the forum started with the panel session with the participation of the Prime Minister of Kazakhstan, then participants could choose one of many parallel sessions to discuss e-government with different experts. With my collegue I provided simultaneous translation services at the Round Table of Ministers from over 20 countries.
The third day of the forum continued with numerous parallel sessions. I translated at a session where main focus of the discussion was on new opportunities and challenges that smart governance represents.
