Ccaps Translation
and Localization took part in the Localization
World Conference in Germany’s old capital,
Bonn. The conference took place between June 29
and July 1, gathering top localization companies
and industry players from all over the world.
According to Ccaps’ Strategic Director,
Marco Simões, the event was an excellent
opportunity to network with international clients
and partners. “Ccaps’ participation
in the conference reflects our growing global
reach” said Simões. “The opportunity
to meet clients and business partners in person
and live is key to continuing the expansion of
our company.”
The first Localization
World occurred in Seattle in November 2003 and
achieved similar success. This latest version
of the event was organized by the Wisconsin-based
Localization Institute and Multilingual Computing,
the information source for the localization, internationalization,
translation and language technology industry.
“Fellow professionals from Brazil and Argentina
joined over 300 attendees from 35 countries, including
Japan, New Zealand, Germany and the United States
to discuss common interests and to increase their
awareness of available technology and services,”
said Donna Parrish, Multilingual’s Editor-in-Chief.
“It was exciting to discuss common interests
with people from all over the world!”
The
theme of the Conference, “Beyond Globalization.
From Product Localization to Knowledge Sharing”
was debated and discussed by industry experts
and professionals during the two-day event, which
also included workshops and networking sessions.
The Globalization and Localization Association
(GALA) supported the Conference and organized
a series of events, which included a pre-conference
dinner, a semi-annual member meeting and a roundtable
for vendors. Simões participated actively
in the GALA events and praised the roundtable,
which involved five localization entrepreneurs
from different parts of the world (the USA, Czech
Republic, UK, France and China). “The roundtable
was a great information-exchange session. The
speakers shared their views on how to improve
the industry and pushed the audience to speak
about their experiences too,” said Simões.
“It is due to opportunities like these that
Ccaps is an enthusiastic GALA member.” |
