TESTIMONIALS

It was so interesting meeting people from all over the world and talking about how we could potentially work together.
Yumi Okubo-Shuman

I attended LocWorldWide 43. I learned a lot and enjoyed meeting new localization people at the conference.
Lucrecia Jarab
Translation Back Office
LocWorld never ceases to amaze me, the level of conversations in LocWorldWide43 with words like “Empathy”, “Translation industry’s resilience”, “Kindness”, “Feeling personally connected to your customer”, “Adapting to our client’s needs and always finding a solution to their challenges”, “Care”, among others, feels like an upward spiral in times like this. Happy to be part of a group of people who thinks like this!
Libor Safar
Digital Marketing Director, RWS Moravia
We haven’t missed a single LocWorld event, as attendees or exhibitors, since the first conference in Seattle in 2003. These events have become the mainstay of our localization industry conference presence. They are always an excellent opportunity to learn, network and meet hundreds of contacts – old or new.

One of the highlights of my first LocWorld was talking to some of the most popular influencers in the localization industry. (It was such an honor to chat with them on Remo!) Kudos to the whole LocWorld team for providing all attendees with the best online experience and for the successful communication strategy.
Kathleen Bostick
VP Language Solutions, North America at SDL International
LocWorld is by far the leading industry event. It always provides us with opportunities to engage with thought leaders in the industry and develop new business partnerships.
Gregor Rosulnik
CEO, GORR
Unsolved questions that are puzzling you could be solved at this conference. It might be an eye-opener for you. But one thing is for sure. You'll get the best friends and talk to them openly about so many things in this beautiful industry.
Max Troyer
Translation Consultant. Associate Professor of Translation & Localization Management
The quality of the exhibitors was great - so many areas represented.
Maryse Benhoff
VP of AILIA; President, BG Communications, Ltd
I am happy to see such a wonderful organization that figured out the secret to getting people together in the right spirit and continues to instill the value of sharing.
Martyna Wojtaś
Localization Manager, GetResponse
Fantastic! The presentations were very good (interesting, presented in a professional way, contained substantial information and were inspiring at the same time). The site was comfortable, exhibits interesting and the food was marvelous.
Sara Maria Hasbun
Managing Director, Meridian Linguistics
I was certainly expecting to learn a lot about localization at LocWorld, and to connect with potential partners, and the conference definitely delivered on this front. What I wasn't expecting was such an immediate positive impact on our bottom line! New business inquiries started the Monday after the conference and by Wednesday we had landed our largest contract to date.

I’m so glad I had a chance to participate in LocWorldWide43. As usual, the program was well thought out, the caliber of speakers was high, the topics were on point, and the live Q&A sessions were engaging. I also appreciated the networking sessions, which added some much-needed interactivity to this virtual conference. In short, I would definitely recommend LocWorldWide as the premium event for anyone involved with the Localization industry, whether on the vendor side or on the client side.
Lynn Hattery-Beyer
VP, Client Services and Development, OmniLingua Worldwide, LLC
LocWorld is a great opportunity to benchmark localization trends and best practices!!
Gary Lefman
Internationalization Architect, Cisco Systems, Inc.
This was a particularly good conference. There was an all-round positive vibe and it was possible to detect a clear shift toward localization as a driver of global growth, rather than the usual afterthought. The venue, as always, was perfect for a conference of this size.

We have been coming to and sponsoring LocWorld events for years now, LocWorld being the premier industry event really allows us to not only see our customers and colleagues, but make new friends and contacts. The amount of industry knowledge under one roof is invaluable and helps us in planning for our future.

Sales Director, XTM International
LocWorld is definitely the leading conference to discuss the latest innovations in this sector. Attendance is obligatory for those striving to create best of breed language management process's in globally competing organizations.
Peng Wang

LocWorld conferences were always for me an ideal platform to encourage international collaboration. In order to leverage AI in a smart and responsible way, we need to embrace our common humanity, be empathetic to others, and empower ourselves with relevant knowledge. LocWorld gives us a taste of all of these! In return, I give LocWorld my highest recommendation, without reservation.

Large industry conferences are mostly just about business. LocWorld is not. It is a highly professional event where you can get information on latest developments, meet industry thought leaders, network with friends, peers and new people from all over the world in an informal environment. memoQ has marked upcoming LocWorld conferences into its calendar for the next 20 years already.
Mimi Hills

LocWorldWide43 was an enlightening and engaging experience. I especially appreciated sessions that highlighted innovations, trends that affect our industry, and strategic insights. I know that virtual networking is a big challenge for any conference and I am glad that I found several different ways to interact with other attendees. This has been the most effective virtual conference I've ever attended, thanks to the diligence and preparation of the organizers and presenters. Bravo!
