Call for Content Q4 2023

For our Call for Content for Q4 we want to delve into the limitless possibilities of innovation. 
 

  • Do you think the localization industry could use some more innovation?  
  • Picture a disruption that redefines the industry landscape. How would it revolutionize our way of doing things? 
  • When it comes to innovation, what's your company's philosophy? How important is innovation in your organization? 
  • Is there such a thing as too much innovation? Where should we draw the line? 
  • Has your company adopted any non-technical innovations in the past two years? We'd love to hear about your inventive solutions. 
  • Let’s talk about how innovation can contribute to an exit strategy. Any thoughts on that? 
  • Anything else? Let us know!

You can write a blog post, an article, present a webinar, moderate a panel discussion, or do an interview with us. Opportunities abound! Contact [email protected] to discuss your ideas.

Please note: Our calls for content are open to GALA members and non-members alike. GALA members will receive priority for publication.
