Dear Fellow Translator/Interpreter,
The entire team behind the Translation and Localization Conference 2013 would like to wish you a very successful year. And what better way to kick-start your business this year than to attend this highly anticipated European translation conference?

The entire team behind the Translation and Localization Conference 2013 would like to wish you a very successful year. And what better way to kick-start your business this year than to attend this highly anticipated European translation conference?
On the updated Program page at http://www.translation-conference.com/en/program-en, you will find topics that reflect all the important aspects of the modern translator’s life. Expanding your business to work in multiple language pairs? Getting familiar with a new culture? Understanding localization better? We have it all. We are also certain unexpected fresh ideas will arise during the event, so we have also made room for an ad-hoc debate, allowing these new ideas to fit into this year’s program. We will make sure that each new development in the industry is mentioned and discussed during our annual industry review. We have carefully selected topics that are fresh, practical, and up-to-date. You don’t need to take our word for it – just visit the conference website at www.translation-conference.com. We have already confirmed most of the topics, but a few more surprises are coming up within the next weeks!
We have also introduced specialist optional workshops, so you can now get specific additional training while at the conference. We would like to bring to your attention the Regular expressions workshop by Marek Pawelec: a must for each user of the latest generation of CAT tools that will save you hours of your future work time. Representatives of translation agencies and localization companies should definitely take a closer look at the workshop by Michał Kleszczonek: Application of open-source/free software and solutions in small and mid-size localization organizations. If you have ever considered introducing a machine-translation engine at your office, here’s your chance to learn how to do it based on open-source solutions. A most valuable session!
Last but not least: the Early Bird registration ends on 15 January. We made sure the conference fee is affordable, but this is your chance to secure your attendance at the lowest possible cost. Join us at this unique event!
If you have any questions, you are very welcome to contact us!

| | | | | What is the purpose of this conference | Jan 15, 2013 |
I am developing a new software for a faster localization process. Would this be a good event to spread the word?
| | | | | Yes, certainly! | Jan 15, 2013 |
Definitely. Not only will you learn about the localization process in real-life project, but you will also have a chance to meet representatives of translation agencies, corporation and freelancers. You might also consider exhibiting at the conference.
| | | | | A good opportunity to meet people in the industry | Mar 6, 2013 |
I agree. This is definitely a great place to meet people and share your expertise.
Why not starting with a pre-event powwow?

Looking forward to meeting many of you there
