Client SIG - Off the Record: A Year-End Conversation

Client SIG Meeting


Tuesday, November 17, 2026
8:00 AM - 9:00 AM (PST)
Virtual event
Category: Special Interest Group Meetings

Join fellow localization buyers to close the year with an open conversation about the latest challenges and use cases. Let's share what was hard, what worked, and learn from each other.

A safe space: This session is for localization buyers only (no vendors). It is not recorded, and everything shared stays in the room.

Please prepare: Come with one challenge and one win from this year.

Possible themes:

- Concrete strategies to show our value to stakeholders in a "quick-fix" AI world

- AI in our workflows: what we automate, and where people still make the difference

- Measuring impact: how we report results and prove the return on localization

Let's close the year by learning from each other.
