Unlimited
Localization, by its very nature, allows our products, our message, our presence to be Unlimited. With research and, yes, hard work, we are able to reach people all over the world in a way that appears simple and easy for them to understand.
Like much in life, things that appear simple and easily understood are quite often the most challenging to produce. This is definitely true in localization. That’s why we have the whole language industry. And, that’s why we hold LocWorld conferences.
What work have you accomplished to remove limits? How have you learned from your mistakes? How have you worked together with others to solve problems? This topic is very broad, but to give you an idea, possible topics include:
Innovation and its importance in business
Finding and serving new markets
Scaling content and time frames for the new normal
The advantages and the challenges of AI and technology
Keeping end-users engaged and satisfied
These topics are presented as a suggestion to you to encourage you to consider what you have to share about going beyond limits. The theme is not meant to restrict the content of the conference. We also encourage presenters to submit proposals that fit with the areas listed below:
While “Unlimited” is the theme for this conference, there are general topics that are always acceptable for proposals.
