What do they have in common? Both are in Seattle the last week of October! That's it - except, by registering as a paid attendee to the Localization World conference from October 25 to 27 you may be the lucky winner of two tickets to the Rolling Stones concert on October 30 at the Key Arena. Tickets to the Rolling Stones Seattle concert are sold out, but registration to Localization World is wide open.
Localization World is the foremost networking organization in the world for buyers, sellers and practitioners of globalization, localization and translation services. The focus of this year's annual North American Localization World conference is on "Translation Technology." The current localization business model is too manual. Many corporations in IT, medical, automotive and other industries as well as localization service providers have invested in translation workflow or are at least exploring its potential benefits. Is it a make or buy decision? At Localization World Seattle, experience and knowledge about "translation workflow" will be shared in both a full-day preconference workshop and in a double panel session. Translation technology will also be the hottest topic in the keynote forum with industry leaders Rory Cowan and Mark Lancaster, the CEOs of the localization industry's two largest companies: Lionbridge and SDL. With the perspective of the recent mergers in the industry, it will be most revealing to witness the visions they will present under the guidance of Hans Fenstermacher, chair of the GALA organization. Technology undoubtedly plays a major role in Google's globalization strategy, as will be presented in the second conference day keynote by Adam Freed, director of globalization at Google Inc. Localization World Seattle brings you a wide spectrum of valuable content, not just limited to translation technology. There will be an exciting panel discussion on online-bidding for localization services with representatives from Sun, Ariba and Moravia. There will be cases of localization services and technology presented by industry leading companies such as Symantec, Avaya, Cognos, Krones AG and Dade Behring. Managers from SAS Institute and MAQUET Critical Care will debate the benefits of controlled authoring. Experts from Bowne Global Solutions will discuss the use of Web Services technology in translation. In another experts panel, delegates from Tektronix, WebMethods and Enlaso will review the merits of a tight integration of translation tasks.
