GALA and Localization World Announce Agreement
Globalization and Localization Association (GALA)
Seattle, USA -- The Globalization and Localization
Association (GALA) has announced a cooperative arrangement with the
producers of Localization World conferences. The upcoming Localization
World San Francisco will be produced by The Localization Institute and
MultiLingual Computing in cooperation with GALA. In addition to serving on
the conference advisory board, GALA will hold its annual meeting at the
event and organize several vendor roundtables. GALA members will also
receive a discount on the conference registration and exhibit space.
"We
have been very encouraged by the success of the Localization World
conferences in Seattle and Bonn, so we're delighted to strengthen our
cooperation with the organizers in future conferences," says Renée
Sztabelski, GALA Board of Directors Vice Chair. Some 65 GALA member
companies attended the Localization World Bonn conference in June, which
attracted more than 330 localization professionals.
This fall's
conference in San Francisco (November 15-17, 2004) will focus on how the
localization process must respond to the convergence seen throughout the
business world with the theme of "Convergence in the Localization World".
Special emphasis will be given to customer support and issues involved in
Asian localization. The conference has issued a call for papers with a
deadline of August 31, 2004.
