In this workshop, we will discuss how localization and global growth are intertwined. How is your organization approaching internationally? What are the opportunities, what are the challenges and how we can grow personally and professionally? What changes do we need to make in the industry’s mindset, and ours? What do you tackle first? What essential kit and hacks do you need to succeed? We will bring together highly experienced localization leaders from organizations of all sizes. They will share their expertise in enabling their organizations’ business to be truly global. The focus will be on use cases from real life. We will give you homework before the workshop: what are the challenges and what are the opportunities you have?

Panel Discussion: You have a vision for localization for your company. You want to build not only a language support group but also a growth enabler function. To do this successfully, you need to have the support and understanding of a few people. How do you drive this across your organization? Who do you need to get involved with? In this panel discussion, we will ask the participants how they are driving localization or multimarket programs with the various stakeholders they have to deal with to build a successful localization function for their organization whether they are responsible for software, websites or eLearning platforms.
