Seattle, WA, USA -- The Globalization and Localization Association
(GALA), an international non-profit association that encourages local
communication as an indispensable component to a global strategy, will
host several sessions for localization business owners, founders and
entrepreneurs attending the upcoming Localization World conference in
Berlin.
Building on the success of eight previous conferences,
Localization World comes to Berlin from 19-21 June. With a theme of Local
Language First, the conference will include developers, practitioners, and
corporate and institutional users who will discuss the world of
translation and localization. With three concurrent tracks, the program
contains information and discussion about linguistic assets with case
studies from a wide range of applications.
The GALA-hosted sessions
will offer valuable information for running a localization business. They
include two sessions on the pre-conference day, 19 June: "Mergers and
Acquisitions Uncovered: From Seller to Buyer in 12 Months - an Insider's
Guide to M&A," and "Practical Standards: Shaping Uniform Language
Requirements for Business." Another GALA hosted session, entitled, "The
Joys and Pains of Growing" will take place on 21 June and will be
moderated by GALA Board Member, Matthias Caesar.
GALA, a long-term
supporter of Localization World, also will host a group exhibit at the
conference. The exhibit will feature seven GALA member companies: ACP
Traductera, CET, Clay Tablet Technologies, GAMAX, Human Science Co. Ltd.,
iDisc Information Technologies, S.L., and ORCO S.A.
Carrying along
a tradition from past Localization World conferences, GALA also will hold
its member meeting during the conference. Representatives from many of
GALA's more than 240 member companies will attend the meeting, which will
