The International Association of Conference Translators (AITC) is the professional organization that represents translators, report writers, revisers, and editors who work on a temporary or permanent basis for international organizations or conferences (interpreters are represented by AIIC).

AITC was founded in 1962 with the primary aim of standardizing the working and employment conditions of language personnel employed on a temporary basis by international organizations, particularly those belonging to the United Nations system.

Today, AITC has around 450 members, who are divided into three categories (See Articles 2, 6, 7, 7bis and 8 of the Statutes):

• Candidate members (translators at the beginning of their career).
• Active members (freelance or permanent translators).
• Associate members (exclusively permanent translators who do not wish to be active members and retired translators who wish to support the Association and maintain a link with the professional community).

The AITC acts in two main capacities: defending the interests of its members and ensuring employers receive the quality of work they are entitled to expect. The AITC advises its members on all aspects of their work, especially concerning employment conditions, both within the United Nations system and with other international organizations and NGOs.
