Italian term

in presenza

Non-PRO Italian to English Other Other Trade fair organization
This is very much a post-Covid question! I'm translating a press release for a trade fair that was transformed into a series of on-line meetings during the Covid pandemic and is now publicizing a "real" event to be organized in November. The phrase in Italian reads: "Un evento in presenza per far incontrare professionisti, imprese e istituzioni...". A literal translation sounds really strange to me, as does the exact opposite of on-line, which I suppose would be off-line. Can anyone help with the English post-Covid equivalent? Many thanks.

Non-PRO (3): philgoddard, Jasmina Towers, Yvonne Gallagher

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

face-to-face


• There are many pursued objectives when organizing an event, as well as several options to carry it out. In the past, there was only one possibility: face-to-face meetings

agree writeaway : one has to be very quick off the mark at the moment to have a chance with such questions. Many people are waiting to pounce or so it seems

I think you are right.
Another option.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Michele Fauble : ‘Live’, not ‘alive’, which would contrast with ‘dead’.

live

Live events as alternative to 'face-to-face' which might not necessarily mean 'online' and are very common: https://www.independent.com.mt/articles/2020-08-03/blogs-opi... Example: We will be holding a live event for this.

I'm not hiding it as I think it is a better answer considering the situation
