The theme of this sixth Localization World Conference is "Working Together". Speakers from Oracle, Adobe, Autodesk, Rockwell, Microsoft, AOL, Medtronic, Hewlett-Packard, Daimler-Chrysler, Sun Microsystems and lots of other companies will share their perspectives and debate their opinions in panel and praxis sessions on collaboration and other topics. The conference offers a great opportunity to stay abreast of the issues and learn about new products and services. With more than 40 confirmed exhibitors and an expected participation of more than 500 attendees from 30 countries, Localization World will again be a good networking event.
Scale is important in the global localization industry. But that does not mean that you have to be big. In his keynote address to the Localization World Conference in Barcelona on May 31, Roger Camrass will share his perspective on the transformation of business which he has labeled as an atomization process. The localization industry is not an exception to these fundamental changes in conventional supply chains. Traditional customer-vendor relationships will make room for a range of specialist offerings from portfolio and customer managers, web spinners, smart companies, business platforms, who through technology innovation and connected communities give a new meaning to consolidation and scalability. Roger Camrass, Director of the Business Transformation Group at Fujitsu Corporation and co-author of the book "The Atomic Corporation," puts his finger on the trends that will undoubtedly affect every buyer's and seller's business in the localization industry. On May 30 - the pre-conference day - there is a choice of workshops and round table meetings, like the TAUS Round Table meetings on translation workflow and machine translation and the medical roundtable meeting. If you were thinking about coming to the Localization World Conference in Barcelona, you should register soon, as there is a chance for the conference to be sold out.
