We’re excited to announce the 47th Annual NAJIT Conference, taking place June 5–7, 2026, at the Wyndham Atlanta Buckhead Hotel, located in the heart of Atlanta.
The 2026 conference theme, Beyond AI: The Irreplaceable Human Element, will explore the essential role of judiciary interpreters and translators in an increasingly technology-driven world—highlighting the expertise, ethics, judgment, and human connection that cannot be replaced.
Atlanta provides a vibrant and inspiring setting, offering rich history, diverse culture, outstanding cuisine, and renowned arts and entertainment, all paired with its signature Southern hospitality. It’s the perfect backdrop for learning, collaboration, and connection.
We are thrilled to be planning new and engaging activities for this year’s conference and look forward to sharing more details soon.

Keynote Speaker
Beyond AI: The Irreplaceable Human Element explores the evolving role of legal interpreters in an era of rapidly advancing artificial intelligence. As automated translation tools become more visible in legal settings, this keynote reframes the conversation from replacement to value—highlighting the uniquely human skills that ensure meaningful access to justice. The presentation examines the limits of technology in addressing culture, power, ethics, and accountability within the legal system.
Designed for interpreters working in courts and legal proceedings, this keynote affirms the profession’s essential role as a guardian of fairness, accuracy, and human dignity. Attendees will leave with renewed professional confidence and a clear understanding of why, even in a technology-driven future, justice still requires a human voice.
