The #1 conference for localization professionals, networking, and industry innovation

Interested in Speaking at LocWorld?

Speaking at LocWorld, the largest localization event in the world, taking place annually on two continents, allows you to share your ideas and experiences with your peers. We are interested in showcasing best practices, insights, practical steps, and good examples from the corporate side of the language industry to our attendees. We prefer to include fresh presentations not presented elsewhere, free of marketing pitches.

  • We have coaches that work with speakers on their presentations. If you are a new speaker to LocWorld, our coaches will have plenty of pointers for you!
  • Case study presenters, up to three panelists, plus a moderator per panel, are entitled to free conference admission on the day of their presentation or 50% off the admission of the full two-day conference. MicroTalk speakers receive a smaller discount on a full conference registration.

Each year LocWorld has a different theme, about which you can submit a proposal. We also accept submissions for the following tracks:

  • Advanced Localization Management
