localization, and what comes next
About this Event
ABOUT THE EVENT
This is not another event talking about AI.
We want to look at where the language and localization industry actually stands today: what is changing, what is working, what isn't, and where people still make the difference.
Participants will leave with practical ideas, a better understanding of where the industry stands today, and, most importantly, a first step they can actually take the very next day.
Networking and pica pica included.
