Keynote Speaker

Ewandro Magalhães

Bump It Up: From Cockpit to First Class

True empowerment isn’t about steering harder. It’s about elevating your position so you can choose freely, with dignity and purpose. This keynote reimagines the familiar “driver’s seat” metaphor, shifting the focus from control to choice, and offers translators and interpreters a fresh perspective on navigating their careers in ways that truly serve them.

Attendees will leave with a mindset that prioritizes strategic adaptation over trying to dictate every outcome.

Ewandro Magalhaes is a conference interpreter, former Chief Interpreter in the United Nations system, interpreter trainer, and language technology advocate.

He has interpreted for two American presidents, five Brazilian presidents, the Dalai Lama, and countless heads of State and government.

Ewandro is an international speaker and a serial TEDx speaker. He is also the author of two viral TED-Ed videos. He has published three books, including The Language Game: Inspiration and Insight for Interpreters. Ewandro Magalhaes is a co-founder of KUDO, a disruptive platform that is revolutionizing the interpreting scene.
